Please Don’t Forget Me

I am not the woman that hurt you 
I am not she. 
I would never have done that. 
Please don’t forget me. 
When all feelings have faded 
May I make a subtle plea? 
When you sit and think of yesterday, 
Please don’t forget me. 
When bodies cast shadows 
In places we flee..  
My only request to you is 
Please don’t forget me. 
When rain falls all around you 
And you hide under a tree.. 
While it shelters you from the storm 
Please don’t forget me. 
When you sit cold in the winter 
And are drinking a cup of tea.. 
As it warms your body.. 
Please don’t forget me. 
When you fall in love with someone 
And I am not she.. 
As tears fall from heaven.. 
Please don’t forget me.
