I Am Forgetful Poem by Eric Roxas

Don’t you dare forget
To say how much you love me
On our most silent days,
On our most simple nights,
Let your words cling on
From your lips to mine,
Let our vines intertwine,
And be married in sweetness,
In the most casual moments
Of our everyday life.

Like a dew to a rosebud,
Keep your lips close to my ears,
For I want to hear you clearly,
I like to be reminded,
Of that same love we carried
So softly in the wombs of our hearts for long,
And let me etch it carefully
On the stones of my memory,
And not just
In the sands of our shifting life.

I want to hear you love me,
When I least expect it,
Not when I show I love you too,
Not in the rosiest day of the season,
Not when the river runs shallow
And words fly by like a springtime breeze,
But, say it when you mean it
And when I truly need it from you.
