Analysis of Forgive Forget Remember Regret
I begged you to **forgive** the tears that
rolled down my cheeks when I saw you
again. It has been so long and I’d almost
forgotten the contour of your face in the
If not for short notice, I’d have missed you again.
We always run in different circles, but tonight we
seemed to cross paths. You remembered every detail
about me, love. Where to kiss, where to touch.
But every time we spend time apart, I **forget**
where the treasure is buried in you. Though, now
I am begining to realize it’s not in your body, but your soul.
Let this night be one to **remember**,
not one to regret. My dear, on the cold, bleak December evening,
Don’t you dare forget what I said to you when you held me
closer than any clothes ever could do.
Don’t make me **regret** saying I loved you.
