If I Forget

If I forget how I ought to be with you, the love I confessed to you if I do not prove it to you or no longer hold you in my arms as in time past; do not fail to show me the right path to tread if suddenly I forget and toe the gentle way of the street If I act in ways that hurt your spirit and for the wild chase of silken maidens: sometimes I leave your side and at times, I fail you and at other times, your place to another give that tear your feelings apart… Do not look upon me as deem fit When I do not take you as bones of my bone, as flesh of my flesh, do not abandon me to the dilemma of my fate leave me not I beg of you But, in your kindness remind me of the good times we shared together. Remind me of my promises to you and how I ought to be with you. Walk beside me, the paths I should take if you lead, I will follow But If you abandon me If you leave me a moment I shall forever be lost!
