Have you forgotten me?
Whether I am forgotten by all? This is the question comes to my mind. I was on the tour of my sweet home town after years back. So in way to me home town this question strikes in my mind.
Years long back I was there. My near and dears was there. Friends of childhood. Nature was too close there. So long I was far from that.
Years long back was that. So I am in fear whether I can find my sweet homeland. How is all this after long back.
So I am really in fear. Whether I am forgotten by all. I am in fear whether I am lost myself with time.

people are strange-i've noticed sometimes i often remember them better than they remember me so to speak..so it's a bit of a downer when you run into them,and you actually have to stir their memory.
if they've moved on,sad as it is sometimes,you have no choice to do the same.
but the memories are still there.

The loved ones who matter have not forgotten you and never will. That is how I see it. I live in Australia although my home town is in Italy. I don’t miss anything about the place and I am quite content with being where I am. When I returned to Italy after many years away I was surprised to find some old school friends from around forty years ago still remembered me and agreed to catch up.

I kind of know what you mean by this. It isn't so much my hometown that I am talking about, but rather the area where my mother used to own property. About ten years ago I was there all the time both with my mother and with other people that I had met down there. However, there have been a few times that my husband and I have driven through there taking a friend to his home and such and everything down there looks different. I've yet to even see a familiar face. I know that a lot of the same people still live there, but I haven't been able to connect with them.

Yes it is sad feeling that many of the people whom we have met never get the chance to meet them again. When we think of them then a feeling of emptiness comes to mind. Some time I try to memorize that many of the people are vanished in the rush of the human race. Some people are lost some other to meet is the flow of life. But we got nostalgic when any circumstance come that lighten on the past and strengthen the memories of past.

I don't forget you.
Human being has short span of memory, so some of them will forget you. Nature has a way of changing, so you may not recognize your hometown as what you imagined. People are changing, too. So they may think differently than they were years ago when you were there, that it might give you a shock.
Don't be scared... Like what people says: The constant thing in life is changes.

Thanks God and you that at least someone doesn't forget me
You are right that human memories are very short. Time is a great factor. With time everything is changeable. People are changing..... environment is changing ..... social system is changing. So along with time the thinking of people is also changing. And we all adopt ourselves with changing. And that is the survival of fittest.

hi Aaleexix going back after years is always iffy but usually there will be a few who will remember you and you can build from that. You cannot really go back but you can indeed go forward with whoever does remember you and build new memories. The thing is you have to be optimistic
and hope for the best always. being happy is up to you as we all are in '
charge of our own happiness.I cannot make you happy nor canm you make
me happy either. lol.think positive and optimistic.

Time never stop. Memories of past going blur with time passed. As when something goes far from our eyes we start to forget about that. When we return back to any place where from we are away for a long period of time, memories of past makes us nostalgic. It looks like that past is return back. Virtually it is return ticket to journey towards our past. Definitely some one we meet who does remember us. And it is happy feelings that at least some keep remind us.

I know how you feel. I'm planning to visit my home community sometime in the near future after nearly 2 decades of absence. I'm not looking for a hero's welcome, but I hope some people still remember me.
