Forgetting

I'm scared of forgetting,
I want to keep every memory,
Locked away in a chest,
That resides in my brain.
I'm scared I'll forget,
How your face looks in the sun,
The sickly sweet voice of yours,
The way you'd mumble songs.

I'm scared because,
I know it's already happening.
I don't remember how your arms,
fell wrapped around my waist,
The way your lips kissed mine,
How our hand fit together.

But maybe that's healing,
One step at a time,
I'm forgetting all the bad memories,
And they way your body felt with mine,
But I remember the good times,
The things I will forever,
Be the most thankful for.

I'm very grateful for you,
Because now I can trust again,
I feel beautiful without you,
I know I can truly be loved,
With someone's whole heart,
I'm confident now in my choices,
That I will do good things in life.

I know their will still be bad days,
Where I feel sick with regret,
Hating the fact I lost you.
But their are good days now too,
Where I remember it's for the best,
And not everything is forever,
Sometimes people come into your life,
Only just for awhile,
And they teach you to be better.
They come when you need them the most,
And leave when there is no more to learn.
So I can never truly forget you.
