You Only Fail if You Fail to Try

They say they will remember but do not
How could they forget us? Well they forgot
They never loved us quite the way we thought

We are surprised but should have realized
That others only care about others
When they are them or maybe their mothers

It seems shocking at first maybe cruel
But better you learn young than be a fool
For all your given earthly span of days
People think of themselves first and always

There is one exception which proves the rule
And that is when two somehow become one
Mystical union in two hearts begun
On earth to be continued in the sky

This is the promise of love I live by
And you only fail if you fail to try
