If I Could Forget

A Love Poem

If I could but forget your touch Your embrace, so warm and tight The way you sang, so sweetly much And how your words lit up the night

If I could wipe your scent away The taste of you upon my lips And in silence the pleasures you lay With all the memories I would skip

But still, the song of love you sang Echoes deep within my soul And though my heart may feel the pang Of pain, it cannot let go

For every moment spent with you Is etched forever in my mind And though I try, I cannot do Away with all the love I find

So I’ll embrace the memories, the pain and all, For in them lies a beauty, a story to be told, Of a love that once was, and still stands tall, In the depths of my heart, forever bold.
