Patricia Obermark

My memory may have failed

But my love for you was true

Although it may not have seemed

That you were you, I knew.

I know I seemed to drift away

To places long since past

Please know I didn’t go willingly

And I know you loved me to the last.

Perhaps I may have seemed muddled Or confused in the extreme

But in my mind, life seemed to have become

A hazy kind of dream.

I ask you to remember me

The way I was before 

You always showed me all your love

When I needed it more and more.

Although I may have seemed lost to you 

My soul was still the same

 Now the time has come, I’m truly gone 

So, with love, please speak my name.
