long term memory--
i forget to forget you
a fingerprint
i wear your touch
all over my skin
all over my heart

im starting to think
you're inescapable
and somedays
knowing there are still pieces of you
deep within me
is bittersweet

especially those fragments
of good memories
the ones i fight to keep
the ones that cloud my sleep
the ones that make me weep

i keep
forgetting
to forget you
because
i still love you

and thats not so easily forgotten
even if the heart is broken
