To those who loved me

 

I thought of you today.

The thought came from a memory

So beloved in my heart,

That I recalled your love for me.

 

The pang was a deep one,

For it quickly brought to mind

What once made me believe

And had left me so far behind.

 

So far, I found myself

With no recollection of you;

I’d forgotten your eyes,

Your arms, your care – all of you.

 

I thought of you today,

So I guess I did not forget;

So here I sit wistful,

But thankfully, without regret.
