Today, I forgot to remember you. For once, I didn't give you a thought. I was able to get through my whole shift, Ignoring the pain your abcense has brought. Today, I forgot to remember the feeling, Of being held safely in your embrace. And for once on my drive home, I didn't slow down near your old place. Today I forgot to remember to call, To hear your voicemail play. I'll never again hear you greet me "Hey Sugar" Or tell me "Have a blessed day". Today I remembered to accept, That you have left and passed on. And though I know I will see you again, I wish every day, that you weren't gone.

Forgetting to Remember
I'm finding it strange, My heart aches with pain, For something that was never mine.

Never Mine.
I say love you more, And you wish you could argue, But you know it's true.

Love is Never Fair
How can you say you love me, When your eyes are drawn to her. Though you might really think, It’s so harmless just to flirt. You kiss me softly and hold me close, Thinking all is well. But don’t you see when your eyes wander, My pain begins to swell. Am I not enough? Don’t I give you my all. I am constantly there for you! All you have to do is call! No, you may not be cheating, You look but you don’t touch. But you’re too blind to see, Those stares hurt just as much. You keep your phone locked up, You text her when I’m not there. You think I’m blissfully ignorant. You think I’m unaware. But I know just what you’re doing. The attention feels so nice. But for every text message you exchange, You are tightening my heart’s vise. I don’t think I can do it much longer. But what can I possibly say? If I try to say how I feel, The jealousy card comes out to play. It always ends with me saying sorry, Though I’ve not stepped out of line. But that’s the way our dance will end, Each and every time.
