I’ve Asked You to Forget Me.

I’VE asked you to forget me, To let our happy past Ne’er be recalled; for ah! it was Too sweet, too bright! to last. But yet you say that you’re my friend, And still as fond and true; While I ne’er care to see thy face, Or have one thought of you. Then ne’er again recall those days When roguish Cupid played At twining garlands ’round our hearts Only to wilt and fade; For I have with a steady hand, Not heeding Love’s sweet art, Unwound them from their resting place And freed your faithless heart.
