Hey, do I have to use won't or don't in the following sentence?

I hope you won't ever forget me.
I hope you don't ever forget me.

("me" as an example)

I know that won't comes from will not and is for the future, but when I want to say that to someone what would you suggest?

I appreciate your help!

Hi and welcome to the forums!

Use "won't" here: I hope you will not = I hope you won't.

How about solving the problem with "I hope you never forget me!"
