I wish the bad memories were easier to remember,
Because the positive ones make me miss you the most.
I wish the fights we had were the first thing I thought of,
Not the smell of your hair from the shampoo still in the shower.
I wish I could remember the hurt before I remembered the love,
Because without the ******** I still want you back.
I wish I could have found a single imperfection with you,
Because then I would understand why two people aren't meant to be together.
I wish sleepless nights of hurt and anger were the ones I remember,
Not the ones where I feel lonely and forgotten.
I wish time moved faster for us,
So I would have less of a gold standard to how someone should make me feel.
I wish I hated you,
Because I crave the way you hated me.

I think it's awesome how memories can be selective in how we remember things. I more often remember how wonderful things were. I have to force myself to remember why it ended.
