We forget.
forget that the stars shine when the sun is out.
forget what our mama's face looks like when we fall asleep.
sometimes, we forget what year it is, or our birthdays, or our names.
We forget the ones we love, or have loved.
forget the million red m&m's.
forget more than everything.
forget the flowers, and the kisses, and the happy moments that make life complete.
forget the one thing that at some point, mattered more than anything.
sometimes, we experience pain we say we could never forget because it just hurts
so. much.
but. life goes on.
and we forget.
the best we can do is not let the bad things.
over shadow those moments that make us take the next step.
it's very hard to do.
and i'm sure i will have to teach myself how to do this,
and it will take my whole long, arduous, joy-filled, wonder-filled, pain-filled life.
but maybe in the end.
all those bad things that seemed like the end of the world....
i will forget.
