Forgotten By Love
Who hasn't experienced love before? Who on earth hasn't felt the pain that comes with the loss of love? We all have felt one of these at one point in our lives. It mustn't be a romantic love, it might be friendship, family or the love we feel for someone we care deeply about.
One constant thing I know about life apart from pain is love. Love is always present in different shapes, forms and sizes in life and its activities. It is not something we can deny ourselves of nor is something we can run away from or avoid.
What is love?
A phenomenon that is experienced in various ways.
A force that emits warmth of tender embrace.
It is more than words or action.
It Breathes fire yet it never burns.
Gentle and kind yet strong.
It can be a beacon of hope.
Has no boundaries when it's genuine.
It will always be the essence of all we are.
Today while I was working, I was listening to some music to spice things up for me. So a song caught attention and it made me understand that love will always be part of us and part of all our lives. No matter how we may hate because of betrayal, hurt or pain, it will still be present in our lives one way or the other.
Kaity Dunstan a.k.a. CLOVES is an Australian singer and songwriter who sang the song ’Don't Forget About Me’. This song is an emotional song that is filled with pain experienced from loss of love. It is not an ordinary emotional song that we are used to hearing but it is a ballad.
This song talks about the various feelings that come with a genuine relationship that has ended or the loss of love. The feelings this song expresses are the feelings of abandonment, loneliness, pain, and the fear of being forgotten by the person who once loved you.
I remember during my teenage years, I experienced the pain from loss of love. It was the love gotten from a romantic relationship. I thought that love we had would sustain us till adulthood but fate had other plans for us. This boy in question ended the relationship we had because he found someone else. The feeling I got afterwards was that of relief, but on the other hand, I kept on wondering if I could still reach out to him to receive love, and comfort from him when I felt alone or down. I felt lonely, abandoned, and not good enough.
If I had truly loved him, the pain I'd feel would be extreme. Sometimes I even think that maybe he remembers me and I wonder if he had forgotten our time together. For sometime, I felt a void inside me that needed to be filled up. All these various emotions were portrayed in this song.
Cloves with her wonderful and amazing voice sang this song with all these same emotions and her lyrics describe in particular how it feels when love is lost and the after effects. In the song, Cloves says that the holes / void in her soul are left behind by the absence of her loved one. She wondered if her lover had forgotten her or remembers all the good moments they spent together.
Also, through her lyrics she wonders if her lover still cares for her. All these, I felt it but back then I thought I was obsessed with the boy. All these resulted in pain and hatred. Instead of healing I decided to hate love and promise myself not to fall in love again but what I didn't understand back then was, I can't hate love neither can I run away from it.
’Don't Forget About Me’ is a song that describes the power of love and the pain that comes from losing it. Cloves all through the song, questions and tells her lover not to forget her. I love the song. I enjoyed listening to it because it was not only an emotional song, it was also a soothing one too. The melody, the sound, and the singer's voice was calming.

Being remembered by a former love partner is a question most of us would be curious about. I just thought about it right now for the first time and actually, it's a tough question. I haven't had much romantic relationships so I can't really tell about others but for me, I do remember every little bit of detail. The good moments most especially.
The music touches my soul, nice one✨
I glad you could relate with the song. I think everyone remembers, it might be the good or bad memories. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your comment.
