I don’t want to forget you
Contentment as we lay entwined
You said this is where you wanted to be

                    Your memory is so ******* selective
                    Agony as I lay beside you
                    I never said I was your forever

The lady doth protest too much
I remember what was real and what wasn’t
The facts and my memories still conform

                     Your dramatics don’t impress me
                     You twist reality to suit you
                     Recall it all, not only what you want

Do I cause you all this pain?
Have I misread what you wanted?
Is this all my imagination?

                      Good intentions don’t preclude pain
                      What we both want, I can’t give
                      This is real but it’s not our reality

I only wanted to see you smile
Reciprocate the exhilaration you gave me
To be everything you ever needed

                       Our happiness masked a demon
                       The feelings were always mutual
                       You can’t be the answer to this question

Then on this we can agree
                       It’s two broken hearts, not one
