Forgetting is harder than I thought

I may forget things often

But I remember when we met

I remember everything you said to me

You were the only face I saw

The only one I knew

Every tiny detail is engraved in my mind

Your name leaves a bitter taste in my mouth now

The image I have of you is tainted by her eyes, by her smile, by her scent

The way she walked was where you wanted to go

The way she spoke was music to your ears

All I could do was sit back and silence myself because I didn’t want to burden you anymore

It hurts

But ill keep smiling

I’ll keep laughing

Because no matter how hard I try

I will never forget
