If You Think Of Me, Sometimes Poem by Rani Turton

If you think of me, sometimes
Without any regret to cloud your mind;
Untarnished by pain or even
Even by slight desire.

Without any hope of return or
The crossing of paths. There have been
Spaces; so much emptiness, voids
Left by life's intense emotion.

There were moments when I had enough.
There were several years so dark.
But the road was endless, away from you
But think, think of me, sometimes.

Life has its own recriminations.
Lots of questions to answer
Lots of answers to questions
if you think of me, sometimes.
