The Forgotten One
Oh, how many days to go
Until we find the forgotten one
All the things we forget
We must find
It takes time to find this forgotten one
It can be an hour or a day
A month or year
It is how much time it took to find it that counts
Each day it takes
The hope grows slimmer
To find it, the forgotten one
Many a days have gone and still I haven’t found my forgotten one
And if by chance I decide to find it again
I must realize why
I must realize how
I must realize the love it gave me
But for you
It is a different story
Each forgotten one is different, as I said before
When you find yours
Keep it with you
And with each story
There is a certain ending
Each ending is different
And with each ending
There are several things to remember
How you read
What you found
Oddities, Moments, or Similarities
Each forgotten item
Is a cliff hanger
You don’t realize
How it can affect you
In the short term
Or the long run
And it is hard
To realize what
It has been like
Without it
Don’t forget
I lost mine
It will never come back
Don’t lose yours
