You’ll never know how much you hurt me,
because I can never tell you.
You’ll continue on with life,
because that’s what people do.

You’ll think of me,
just a passing thought.
Only to wonder where I went.
And why I am no longer
such a visible presence in your life.
But in time,
I will fade from your thoughts.

You on the other hand,
will be a part of me always.
I will live the rest of my life
remembering you. Knowing you. Missing you.

Not because I want to,
but because you have made an impression on me that will never fade,

...a scar that will never heal.

I can relate well to this poem, the pain of loving someone more than they love, remembering more than they do...thanks for posting

Oh, this is sad. I hope it's not from your real life?

Oh, Lucie~
The merry-go-round of life spins us around
and drops us in another's playground ...
when they leave there's no one left to
push the merry-go-round so we have to rely
on remembering how carefree and fun it was.

That's what your poem brought to mind ...
I hope life is treating you well.
How is your little girl ?
So good to see you here to visit.
