Forgetting you

Ariel Perez

I am sorry

I say those words to myself every day

because every day I miss him

The boy who hurt me at just 17

Telling me lies

Saying 'I love you' that morning and then leaving that afternoon

I questioned myself too many times on why

all the same answers arose

He couldn't love me right

It wasn't me

its now a couple months after but I still long for him

I long for his love

I do not care to be loved by many but by him only

How do I forget, my last birthday where I took him out to dinner 

How do I forget, his last birthday where I made him dinner and bought him gifts with my first paycheck

How do I forget, meeting his family and bringing him to meet mine

How do I forget, the panic attack when he told me it was over

How do I forget, his infidelity with no reasoning behind it

How do I forget, those late nights of crying because of his last words

How do I forget, being in love with him and him saying he no longer loves me

but he did that morning, he did last night

how do I forget him

how do I forget memories

how do i forget you

the boy who hurt me at just 17

  • Comment from author about the poem: It is really over, between me and him. It hurts just hearing his name. He left, while I was hoping he would stay. I was going to give him everything all over again but he chose other people over me like always. He didn't want to text an "extra girl" because he already added other girls within a week, classic him. I was not an extra girl, remember we were together for years? He told me I was not a friend nor family so he never held me dearly. He told me he can't change, he likes the attention too much and he would hurt me all over again. But how do I move on, I want to forget him; who he is, what he looks like, his name. I'm done, i'm done trying to love someone who would throw me away in a heartbeat. Although he was my first love i loved for years, I have to love myself more. I have to learn to forget him.
