If You Can'T Forget
When smiles shyly slip away,
tears inevitably fall.
For you cannot help but cry,
when trust means nothing at all.
Hope encourages gamblers
to seize the bull by the horns.
And at that moment, you get
to choose the rose or the thorns.
It's time to move on with life
and tend to your broken heart.
For love's not abandoned you,
this heartache will soon depart.
Relationships cannot last
if they were not meant to be.
And though you think life's over,
there's much more for you to see.
If you can’t forget, forgive,
don't let tears stand in your way.
Yesterday's a memory,
but today's a brand-new day.
(Quatrain)
