I saw you last night
You weren't really there
But I saw you there
You've refused to leave my mind
Choosing to stay
Without knowing you are
Because of you
My good memory is my best enemy
It dredges up everything
In minute detail
Bringing the excruciating truth
Of the always brewing feelings
The need to feel is strong
My blessing now becomes a curse
As with every memory I feel
Reliving the details to a tee
Breeding more wanting
Regardless of my wisdom
I gave you the lead
Deferred to your self control
But in the presence of the danger
You run towards it
You keep poking the bear
As you enjoy the thrill of it all
Because all that matters is the moment
And for you
Leaving the moment
Leaves the moment behind
And on to busy things you go
Leaving the memories behind
Living your best life
Oblivious of the chaos you leave behind

You weren't really there
But I saw you there
You've refused to leave my mind
Choosing to stay
Without knowing you are
Because of you
My good memory is my best enemy
It dredges up everything
In minute detail
Bringing the excruciating truth
Of the always brewing feelings
The need to feel is strong
My blessing now becomes a curse
As with every memory I feel
Reliving the details to a tee
Breeding more wanting
Regardless of my wisdom
I gave you the lead
Deferred to your self control
But in the presence of the danger
You run towards it
You keep poking the bear
As you enjoy the thrill of it all
Because all that matters is the moment
And for you
Leaving the moment
Leaves the moment behind
And on to busy things you go
Leaving the memories behind
Living your best life
Oblivious of the chaos you leave behind
