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.
