Remember




The things we want to remember most
We most quickly forget
And the time we want to forget
There's no way to get rid of it

Move on, move out
Get away, get involved

But does that really help?

How can you control it?
"Just don't think about it."
...much easier said than done

But what happens when the things we once wanted to remember
we now wish we'd forget?

What do you do then?
Hide it, embrace it,
live and learn,
love and forget:
either way you'll never get what you wanted.
either way, you are not yourself.

So why do we try?
Why were we even given memories at all?
A blessing, or a curse...

Remember love, remember a song
remember a person,
remember who you wanted to be
remember who you are
think of all the good times
think of all the bad
...memories all the same...

Eventually they will all fade.

Then will you wish you'd never wished them away?

...smile because it happened...
