AN: Wow it's been so long since i've updated any of my stories and this is by far the least popular but it's the one I felt like updating. I must confess, this poem has absolutely nothing to do with Inuyasha. I hope someone will enjoy it and maybe even leave a review about the message they got out of it. Please enjoy and leave a review on your way out.

Love Not Forgotten

I feel warm tears run down my face

And bend down to my knees

I place the flowers on your grave

And I know that you'd be pleased

Because they were your favorite

They are a memorial to what we used to be

If you're looking down now

I hope that you can see

Do you remember every Friday

You'd sit in the swing at the park

And I'd watch you from afar

Until you had to leave when it grew dark

I finally got the courage

To ask you your name

It wasn't long after that

That we began our game

Imagine us, two adults

And I so terribly shy

You with your rosy cheeks

And eyes blue as the sky

You warned me to not love you

You said that you wouldn't catch me if I were to fall

But I fell hard and fast

Yet you never let down your wall

Seasons went by

Days turned to months, those moths to a year

And you finally confessed to me

Your biggest fear

Turns out you were sick

Terribly so

You didn't want to love someone

That one day you'd have to leave alone

But I took your hand

And looked in your eyes

I told you that one moment with you

Was worth my whole life

Things changed after that

And I think you started to see it my way

If it's what it took

I'd just take it day by day

But eventually your visits stopped

And I began to worry

A call came from the hospital

I rushed over in a hurry

In that white bed in that white room

You looked so vulnerable weak, and pale

Just by looking in your sky blue eyes

I could see you'd been through hell

You reached out for me

And I came to your side

Something inside me shattered

When you started to cry

You'd always been so strong

You never seemed afraid

But I felt the fear

Coming off of you in waves

I'm not sorry that you loved me

But I'm not able to stay

I hope that you'll find love

In someone else's arms one day

Don't forget the memories

And how much I loved you

I won't regret the love we shared

But I'm sorry for what I'll lose

It's not fair that even in the end I was loved

And when I'm gone you'll be left behind

But I still hope

That every once in a while, I'll be on your mind

Still though, after I'm gone

And you've had time to heal

Find love in another

Just make sure it's real

We both knew this was coming

And part of it has reached its end

When I'm gone find happiness

Eventually, your broken heart will mend

I saw the light fading from your eyes

And I knew we didn't have long

So I drew you up in my arms

And sang our favorite song

With your last breath that you took

You spoke of your love for me

And in my ear you simply whispered,

" Remember me."

I get up off my knees

And wipe a tear away

Then I turn to my wife and children

Who don't quite understand this day

Yes it was years ago

That you passed away

But as you asked I never forgot

The words you spoke that day

There has not been a single day

That I didn't remember your name

And the love in my heart

Has always stayed the same

But you also asked me to find love

And I found it in my wife

She did not replace you

I just made more room in my heart and life

She did not know you

But she understands

Why I come here every year

And I smile as she takes my hand

I never forgot you

And I will never regret

The love that connected us both

From the first day that we met

When I look up the sky is your eyes

And the wind is your last whispers

It carries your love

And your last, lingering caresses

But it's once more time to say goodbye

Yet it's not as hard to turn away

As it might have been years ago

On the lonely day

I will walk away again

To my lover, wife, and friend

Remember though I'll never forget

What we had back then

No matter how my life might change

There's one thing that will never

In my body, soul, and heart

I will love you for forever
