Forget Me Not

The only kiss I didn't want to make,
Was the one I laid on your head,
With your arms wrapped around,
We didn't make a single sound,
Our time my darling came to an end,
Long ago before life's unexpected bend.

Look at me for one last time,
I want to remember those sweet eyes,
I know they are filled with tears,
Mine too, 
Damn these goodbyes.

As I tuck your hair behind your ear,
I'm letting go my dear,
I will turn my back,
To get back on track,
To become the man I should have been,
The one you should have seen,
I'm sorry for hurting you,
If I could ask just one last thing,
Forget me not,
My darling.
