Forget To Remember

I cannot believe what has come of us,

I cannot believe that happened,

Blown away, I remained a battlefield bomb,

Supposed to come back strong,

But came back gone.

I loved you,

And perhaps I still do.

A part of me will always remember you,

But the rest of me shall forget you,

And leave you.

To move on, my goal stays

Although for minutes on every blue moon,

My heart for you sways.

No longer in happiness, or in love,

But in pain.

Remembering I once held your name

To be of mine, I can't believe it all happened

It feels so fake, so unreal.

Was that really me?

Was that really us?

We were happy,

Why has it come of distrust?

For the better of cause, it has to be

For the better of love, I keep for me.

I am sorry for all that has happened,

But I couldn't stay to what I was trapped in,

A cycle of love to pain, a cycle of your name

I am on my way to over you,

And I'm almost there,

Now I just have to forget the part of me that is you,

But it will always remember,

The way we lived, the way we loved

I will forget the part that keeps your love,

But I will always remember and keep it above.

Goodbye, for I will remember to forget,

And forget to remember.
