Do you remember that time when our fingers touched

That gentle feeling so sweet and delightful 

Do you remember that time when we had our first kiss

That first move of love so sweet and delightful

Do you remember that time when we had our first date

That moment of happiness that seemed impossible, so sweet and delightful

Was it a coincidence that cupid shot us his arrow 

The arrow of promise 

The promise of together 

Who knew love was so sharp yet so sweet and delightful

A blade hidden in your emotions of sweet and delightful, held in your hands

Yet why couldn’t I see the blade in your hand

Is love just a blade meant to be wielded from afar 

That time of love, the day of valentines, is that another blade meant to cut off my sight

Why 

Why do I feel blinded by your heartless love

Must you make me bleed, leave me sinking in my own blood

I hold dear to the blade everyday, whether that kills me or leads me

Yet that pain brings me happiness, that beloved sweet and delightful

What is love if I can’t see you in it

Don’t you remember?

Don’t you remember?

How could you ever.., forget,..not remember 

Are you willing to let go of 7 years of memories

I loved you, gave my heart up to you

Don’t you remember?

That time we were both happy, I wish you still remembered 

I thought our love was sweet and delightful

But now I remember it was you that forgot

I clearly remember 

It was you that left

It was you who committed theft 

It was you who left my heart cleft

You broke it

The sweet and delightful

This piece is about love, and a relationship that is broken.  It isn't particularly specific to someone I know, but I feel like relates to some people in society.
