Forget

I write down these memories of you

Because I’m scared to forget.

I’m scared to wake up one day

And realize I can’t immediately picture your face.

I’m scared to run down memory lane only to find

I only see our final goodbye.

I’m scared to lose all the good that came with you,

Despite all the hell you also put me through.

I’m scared to find those short years will never be enough

To let me still feel the presence of your love.

I’m scared that if I don’t write you down

I’ll lose the purpose I had once found.

I write down these memories of you

Because I’m scared to forget.
