My love for her

I apologize

but am not forgiven

If I were perfect

how would I

make a living

of apologizing

every day

I’m given?

She forgets

but is not forgotten

If I were memorable

how could she

have forgotten

my love

Once her only begotten

that now she

remembers only

as never really being loved?

We move on

never getting past

the last scene

that seems to last

longer than the whole

of our past

But never longer

than my love

for her;

alas!
