Don't Forget

Just a past memory.

Don't forget those summer days we spent together. 

How you would hold me, and act like nothing mattered.

Don't forget how I wouldn't wear makeup, 

because you promised I was beautiful without it.

And for a second I believed you.

But winter came along.

How could a drop in temperature make a drop in us?

It was horrible. The only thing warm now was the tears down my face.

But if you promise not to forget that,

I'll make a promise of my own.

I promise not to forget the sparkle of your green eyes.

The smell of your cologne.

 The taste of your lips.

Or the warmness of your arms.

But most of all, I wont forget the lesson.

To not fall. 

And it may have me alone now,

But it has me un-broken.

Which is more than I could say last year.

Your poem expresses powerful sentiments and deep feeling. There are a couple of spelling mistakes and places where you might use a different word. Those things I'm sure you will catch when you do a careful proofread. I like the life lesson within your poem, expressing the need to be careful in choosing a close friend. Keep up the good work!

Life is full of hard lessons. We grow and we find a brighter road to walk upon. Getting past the past is our hardest journey, but the rewards for continuing the walk are always better than those of the past.
I think your piece speaks of the memories of the past and the pain everyone must battle and move forward from, and the calm we find between life's lessons.

Nice ink!
