Never forgotten

“Gone but not forgotten”

Such an annoying phrase

Anyone who has ever lost

Goes through it again and again.

Of course you are not forgotten

Remembered every day

Unsuspecting memories cause

Such a lot of pain.

You go to make a phone call

And remember they’re not there

You want to share something funny

You need advice, a sounding board

And if the pain does not hit

Bone deep sadness does when

You remember who you need

Has gone. 

Never forgotten.
