she forgets a lot of things
forgets to eat lunch
forgets to zip up her uniform
forgets to tie her shoes
forgets to brush her hair
forgets what page number she's on
forgets what the color of her room is
forgets the way to her house
forgets the formulas in math
forgets the terms in economics
she forgets people's names
and forgets the date
she forgets the year
she forgets anniversaries
and sometimes forgets birthdays too
forgets forgets forgets

she forgets to love herself
and forgets that she's allowed to make mistakes
she forgets that she's human
she forgets that she's loved

but what she'll never forget
is her best friend's favorite candy
and her the sound of her sister's laugh
she'll never forget the color of his eyes
or what it feels like when he kisses her forehead
she'll never forget her mother's hugs
or her father's favorite color
she might forget herself every now and then
but she'd never forget them
