Twenty melting candles
spell out my regrets.
Each of them dripping,
tainting the frosting I've never had.

And I apologize, my love,
for thinking of you still,
but no one told me it would be this hard.
Try as I might, I refuse to forget.

Tonight forced remembrance
and I mourned for our loss.
A stolen glimpse of a shooting star
burned comets into my eyes.
You must have thought me blind,
but I knew it was you.

I accept the hardships I've created.
I take them back with every breath.
But that's never been enough.

Please forgive me, Love,
I must make one last request.
Minuscule in the Grand Scheme of Things,
yet required to mend my heart.
Necessary if you would like me to move on.

Just this one thing before I go.
Please -

Think of me.

Not often, but once in a while.
Remember the times we shared, and smile.
That's all I ask - Think of me.

For, if I know I'm still in your heart somewhere,
my soul can rest at ease.

Just -
Think of me -

And I'll disappear...
