Forget-me-nots are my favorite


Pablo Neruda said,
if suddenly you forget me, I want you to
know one thing:

Do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

Now Pablo was a hard man,
             because,

when I wake up from a dream
made of sub-conscience memories
of you & I,


which are like looking at snippets,
little by little of the times,
you forgot how to love me.

I am reminded of how I can never 
leave those precious times behind.
      And,

while Pablo would have probably 
already forgotten you by now,
I still struggle through sleep sometimes.

Because,
I'd rather dream of sub-conscience 
memories of you &I. 

So I can cherish and always
appreciate waking up 
      next to her.
