Trying to remember to forget him, but really remembering all the while.
Somewhere,
In the midst of it all

I...
Just
Forgot
To miss you

Wasn’t as if I intended to
But…
In the wake of absent nights
With tears spent for company
I…
Somehow
Found strength
In being alone

&
...I just
Simply forgot
To continue missing you

After I...
...Changed my sheets,
Burned your letters
Picked up my heart
Revived it through:
Fervent prayers &
Wishful thinking

Post-it-notes
Posted
Upon refrigerator door

Agenda for today:
“Remember to forget
…Oh, & get milk too”
You always forgot that

Forgot how to love me
Forgot to care
Forgot to try
As I tried
To remember
How, not to cry

But I
Remembered to...

Forget, late night phone calls
Holding hands
While strolling down memory lane
Rainy nights, & kisses at my door
Forget that,
We…
Laid within sheets
Whispered promises
Late into the evening

Forget that,
I ever loved you

& Maybe
Possibly
...Everything’s gon be ok

& within the midst of it all
Somehow...
I forgot how
To miss you too

Just...

Remember to forget

...Don't worry
I haven't forgotten yet
