You told me to forget,
So I forgot.
Forgot about the days in the summer sun,
The hours spent together.
As if we were next to each other.
I deleted traces of what you did-
Wiped them clean off my memory.
I don't need them anymore;
I'll be just fine without them.
So if someone were to say your name,
I won't think twice before answering.
The feelings won't flood back
Because they can't.
They'll have dried up into the atmosphere,
Leaving just me here on earth.
So I did what you told me.
I forgot.
Forgot all that you did.
But every word that you said-
It's echoing in my head.
