Forgetting:

I must remember to forget.


Forget that a dirty dish is in the sink.

Forget that my favorite shirt is not clean.

Forget that the bed is not made.

Forget that I had a bad day.

Forget that I am thinking of only me.

I must remember to forget.

So that I leave space for the things I never want to forget.

I never want to forget the way you smile.

I never want to forget your gentle way.

I never want to forget your loving embrace.

I never want to forget the love I see in your eyes for me.

I never want to forget your devotion to my weird ways.

Most of all I never want to forget you.

So when we grow old and I begin to forget.

Forget what we ate last night.

Forget where I put my keys

Forget what our phone number is.

Forget how to drive to the Wal-Mart.

I know that I can not forget you.
