Remember me: Dont Forget The People You Once Loved

In today's world, there are a lot of songs you can barely understand the meaning or inspiration behind it but “Remember me” is a 1970 single recorded song released by singer Diana Ross on the motown label and was included on her 1971 album surrounder.

I was in my room one night looking out through the window seeing the night sky with dim light in my room when I first heard this music, it deeply touched my soul and made me start reflecting on a lot of things most especially my past relationship, because I've been through a break up that gave me sleepless nights and have lost my loved ones because of certain circumstances in the past.

I got really emotional when I started wondering if those of my friends who had left me when things were so bad for me ever think about me. Even my first lover, now my ex girlfriend whom I so much loved to the point I already started making plans of marriage with and she happily agreed and everything was moving ever so smoothly until when things got so bad for me. Though she didn't tell me it's over, maybe it could have been more heartbreaking and hurtful for me but she just stopped calling me as I traveled and as it's our custom to talk daily anytime I traveled on the phone, she no longer calls and if I manage to call her because things were so bad for me, I could hardly afford to eat let alone recharging my phone. she will act very busy and tell me she will call me back soon, days will pays without her calling back until I manage to find means to call her again, now that she has gone and left me, I wonder if she remembers me.

I gave her a lot of useful advices that helped her grow and advance in her career even with a well paying job and she became a public figure, I even protected her the times when her abusive neighbor wants to forcefully take advantage of her because she was so beautiful and every guy's eyes were on her but she has no parents though living with her relatives the time when I met her. I really hope she remembers me for those good times and for the seasons we were happy and spent together.

I've really heard a lot of bad stories concerning women but deep inside myself I couldn't believe all women are like that so I did everything possible both in reading books on relationships, going to seminars, watching video presentations and listening to audios and tapes on relationships and also working on myself. Even the way I dress that she happily compliment on all the time and my good English accent that she so much loved and my hair style. I hope she still remembers me today for all of this efforts I put into our relationship.

But finally she couldn't tell me it's over till I found out she was seeing someone else the time I traveled, but for all the times she ignored my calls and sometimes pick and act busy to call back later but never calls, she refuses to tell me what's going on if I asked. She couldn't tell me it's over until I had to find out myself.

I was so tortured to the point I summoned the courage to ask her one day if she's seeing someone else she should tell me because I will understand and she twisted my question and start making me feel like the bad one and question my trust for her.

I guess she couldn't summon the courage to tell me it's over because she truly didn't see yet a fault in me enough for that. Only that I got broke but she was with me during the good and happy times and enjoyed with me in those days till things got bad.
I wonder if she sometimes think about me even now.

Lastly, I caught her red handed with another man, she started shedding tears and pleading at last trying to convince me to forgive and accept her back, it was surprising to me the woman i know who all of a sudden became authoritative the way she talks abck at me with no emotions and without caring how i feel is now crying before me but by then she has really punished me a lot, i needed to be free because I've been so much tormented in my heart considering all ive done for her that I've only prayed to God to just show me just one little revelation of what is truly happening, why she's treating me this way because I can't leave her for no good enough reason, is she the one for me or not? and God did and I've gotten it and it explains it all, the reason for the neglect.

Now we've both moved on, I heard she's married now though not sure it's with the one she left me for, she has also had a child, if not two but she's never called except for the time I was wondering how she is doing and decided to call her. The way she later started talking about me not forgiving her to accept her back into my life really made me wonder. every time she tries to make me feel like the bad one even when she does terrible hurtful things to me without caring how it makes me feel.
It's been some years now but I really do wonder if she remembers me or thinks about me even now as I write.

It really hurts to lose someone you truly loved to someone else or to death, whether they really love you same back same way you love them or not. But I still deeply ask myself this question sometimes when I'm alone because of her. Do you remember me at all or think about me sometimes even for the good things i did and for the good days?.

Here is the Lyrics of the song "remember me" by Diana Ross:

Bye baby, see you around
Didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down
Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it

Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had, along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher
Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I boy, didn't I boy

Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnaval that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing

Bye baby, see you around
I already know about the new love you've found
What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets

Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?
Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please darlin' oh yeah

Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet succes and I gave you my best
Remember me every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling, remember me as a good thing

Remember me when you drink the wine
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me darling.

Appreciation

Thank you so much for reading my post, I really felt emotional writing this, people who once shared quality time together as lovers, family or friends should once in a while try and remember the good times they once shared with the people they once loved and cared about. With or without any reason and reach out for them even just a simple " Hi " will do.
