Do you remember the laughter and good times we once shared?

Are you forgetting the heartache, the times you said you never cared?



The museum, the carnival, by the river we would walk.

The loneliness, the frustration; you were always too tired to talk.



Do you remember the times alone, all the sexy things you'd say?

Are you forgetting that while I said them you often walked away.



The summer drives, the broken doorsteps, those precious moments we had alone.

The lying, the cheating, all the things I had to discover on my own.



Do you remember that you loved me, you said with all your heart.

Are you forgetting that you hurt me? I also said it was a mistake from the start.



The memories, I cherish.  Maybe we can give it one more try.

No, thank you.  Don't think so.  It was over with goodbye.



But, darling - don't you remember?

How could I forget.

I have posted and reposted this a few times. A poem written nearly 30 years ago about the former love-of-my-life. I had no idea about narcissism back then. This guy was textbook. He and I were on-again-off-again for years. He cheated on me something terrible, then would come back all wistful with sweet talk and nostalgia. He even tried to come back years later when I was married to Ravenswd and pregnant with my 3rd child. He never seemed to remember all the times he was a rat bastard and made me cry/broke my heart. Unfortunately, I have had a few narcs in my lifetime since then -- romantic and not. Thankfully, as of now, all of them have been discarded by me. :D

I know this one poem is from one of your past experiences, but it seems that this one poem is talking about Greg Flowers and his experience, Sara and her experiences in the Relativity Universe,  and also Sara in your Alternate DC universe stories as well. I can definitely see this one poem in those 2 Universes. But for you, you definitely came way out of this, as a better and greater person. You definitely gotten a way better, greater person and way better life with Ravenswd, a way better life with him, a family with him, and way more caring and loving person in Ravenswd. You definitely got the way better life and deal.
