If you cannot forget me

[Yonah Jeong]

then please do not forget everything
you know of me, either
Remember the quiet night streets
the shabby inns
the cheap junk food—
and the starlight in your eyes
as you looked up at me
amidst the crumbling streets.
Remember, too, the drunken songs we sang

Please, do not struggle to erase your love for me alone.
