Forget-Me-Not

Good many people are remembered
For many good things they have done
Good many people are forgotten
For one wrong thing they have done
When I default, forget me not

When I erred in my speech
Forget not the right words I have spoken
When I angered you
Forget not my humuor and jokes
When I hurt you
Forget not the love I showed you

Remember when we were friends
Now that we are rivals
Remember my fame
Now that I am useless
Remember my kindness to you
Now that you are wicked to me
Remember the good times
Now that we are in bad times

I am present
Forget me not in my absence
I am young
Forget me not in my senescence
Keep me in your mind
Keep me in your heart
I will forget you not
Forget me not.
