Remember that

At this point
Together reached
Where it’s painful
To say goodbye
But even harder
To stay
If you remember
One thing
After I leave
Don’t waste it on flowers…

Remember that
I loved you.

Not sure if
This is it
Or if we’ll make circle
Ending in each other’s arms
Again
But separation
Has been calling
Long time now
And finally we hear whispers
And take heed
If you remember
One thing
After we split
Don’t waste it on fireplaces…

Remember that
I loved you.

As we depart
To find ourselves
Like we should have
Done before
Unknowing if when we emerge
Compatibilities will still fit
And friendship will find us
Or if heartdreams still long for happy yesterdays
If I never see you again
And you remember
One thing
Don’t waste it on tears…

Remember that
I loved you…

I always will.

Mister poet...
I like the flow in this one and the sentiments behind the words. I would offer up one suggestion though, to me the way each stanza ends is a bit confusing...pehaps something like this instead:

If you remember
Only one thing
After we split
Don’t let it be fireplaces…

Remember that
I loved you.


If I never see you again
And you remember
Only one thing
Don’t let it be tears…

Remember that
I loved you…
