Poem : I will forget you someday

I will forget you someday

You said “Hi!”

I said “Yes?”

You asked “What is your name?”

I asked, “But why?”

I felt so stupid

“I am just curious”, you said

Then I gave you my name

“My name is Lyera”

“Thank you“, you responded

Then added, “What a beautiful name!”

I looked at you

“You were the first person to tell me that aside from my mother“, I said

I said “Thank you” and bowed my head

You said “Can I have your number?“

“But why, isn’t my name enough?, I don’t give them to strangers”

“I am not a stranger anymore, my name is Othie,” you said

“And so?” I responded

You laughed at me

“Are you angry or mad” you asked

I said, “No, why should I be”

You just shook your head and you smiled at me

I felt I am a weird and smiled back

“You have a beautiful smile, and I like your eyes”

“They are big black eyes and are penetrating, lovely” you said again

“Okay here is my number”,  I said and smiled back

That was the beginning

Of a love I once experienced

A love that was so pure

So intense and so warm

I thought it would last forever

I was just dreaming

I woke up this morning

And I touched my bedside

I though I felt something there

But you were gone

All that was left was my love and the memories

Bitter sweet memories

That’s all there is to it

How is it that love could be so easy

And forgetting is too long

How is that when I look everywhere

Your memory is still here

And you continue to haunt me

Maybe one day, I can forget you

Like I forget how many winters passed by

Surely the spring will give me hope

Until next summer again

By then I shall have forgotten you!
