To Forget…

We do it every day

We forget where our drinks are,

our glasses, our books.

We forget birthdays and deadlines.

We forget anniversaries and arrival times.

We students inevitably “forget” homework.

But to forget on cue?

 

That is the trick

 

To forget what you want to forget.

 

A challenge.

 

The more you try, the more you fail.

The memories you try to block out come flooding back

 

A touch, a glance

A secret shared

 

It hurts to remember.

 

But it is a gift,

and that is what to remember.

Your memories are your life.

Your personal scrapbook that only you can see.

You can share them with others, but no one will ever see them as you do.

 

It hurts

yes

it hurts

But one day it won’t hurt so much.

And then you’ll be glad you can remember.

because then you can remember and be happy

And be happy because you can remember.
