Forgotten

I know you once loved me.

I have been in love with you for almost three years now.

I began falling in love with you when we met.

I knew I was in love with you soon after that.

And I have loved you every single day since.

And I have missed you every single day since we said goodbye -

only supposing to be a season.

Do you remember that you loved me?

I understand that people change, that you have changed, so have I.

And I'm glad.

And I'm excited to get to know the new you.

You have hurt me.

You said you would call and never have.

You don't reply to my messages.

And I just can't understand it at all.

You told me you wanted me to wait for you.

You told me you wanted me to be single when you got back.

You told me you want to marry me.

You've said that before.

And I understand things could have changed,

but I can't understand the how or the why -

unless you tell me.

You have hurt me so badly.

And I try to push it away.

You make me feel so foolish and vulnerable and silly.

Like I'm wasting my time, my life.

But I couldn't help it if I tried.

Why have you failed to keep in touch?

Why do you still own my heart?

Please stop mistreating it, it may fail me.

I love you,

with every fiber of my being.

And I hope and I pray -

every single day of my life since you entered it,

that you would love me and want me too.

And why do I feel so abandoned?

Are things going to work out?

Or is my life going to be some tragedy?

I feel like I know nothing any more.

I used to feel so confident.

Now I just don't know.

Please love me again.

I'm scared of what it'll do to me if you don't.

And I'm scared to live a life in which I shirk from your name.

Please remember me.

Because right now I feel so absolutely

and completely

and wholly -

forgotten.
