Forgetting is so long i long for selective amnesia to happen to me. i want to close a seemingly never-ending chapter of my life.
but i cannot seem to place the final dot. you are a stubborn face that refuses to leave my dreams… will you please stop pickin’ on me?
i have tried to bury your memory and the pain you have caused me in heaps of debris collected from everyday trivialities. i have tried to forget how you raised my hopes and dashed them to pieces again and again and again.
i have tried to pretend that whatever it was we had was only a figment of my imagination. oh, how I how tried! alas, to no avail.
yes, it is never easy.
and time? time will not heal it. time will only allow my heart to get used to the numbing ache.
“Love is so short, forgetting is so long.” (Pablo Neruda)
