Memories

I had my fifth dream about you last night. I remember you once told me that if you have more than three dreams about someone in a week that means they’re thinking of you.

Part of me hopes that’s true. The other part hopes otherwise.

To be honest I don’t want to think of you anymore.

I want to forget you.

I want to forget our memories.

I want to forget driving down the road blasting our favorite songs.

I want to forget staying up till 3 am playing Minecraft.

I want to forget the concerts.

I want to forget it all.

I want to forget you.

But I can’t. I can’t forget you.

You were my other half for 15 years.

How do I forget you?

How have you forgotten me?

I wish I could forget our memories. I wish I could forget you. I wish I could move on and be happy. But I can’t.

So, if what you said is true, and you are thinking of me, I hope you’re okay. I hope you’re safe.

But, I wish I could forget. But you won’t let me.

Let me forget. Let me forget you.
