Forget me not
You and I bathed in the same pool.
There were many flashes and splashes.
I remember and you may have forgot.
Hide and seek that we have played many.
There were delights: no matter who won.
I remember and you may have forgot.
Heaven or Hell, both had been the same
When you lay on my arms, facing me
I remember and you may have forgot.
You were later shown a rosy branch
To perch on and you did it at a stretch.
I remember and you may have forgot
To have you back, the branch must die.
To leave you in peace, I must leave.
Let me go and you forget me not.
