Forget
Darling!
They ask me to forget you!
They want me to erase you
From my memory!
The Toyota Camry you bought
-
Still parked in the
driveway!
My gift Nissan Pulsar for
your graduation -
Still looks new and reminds
me of that day!
The house I am living in -
Is the same one -
You found after long search!
Your beloved Scandinavian
leather sofa
Still makes guest homey and
comfortable!
All the CDs we produced
together
Are still in display on my
piano!
Videos of shows we made
together
Are labeled on the video
shelf!
The keyboard you presented
me on my birthday
Is now my best companion!
I still play the same
harmonium -
You inherited from your
mother!
The lovebirds you bought and
cared for -
Are now my best friends!
They learned to call me
daddy
As their children made me a
grandpa!
You found new lover before
leaving me!
But, as I am trying to make
another fresh start -
Everything in and around me
Just reminds you more than
ever!
