Ghandi

I keep forgetting to remember. I keep forgetting to smile. I keep forgetting to talk. I keep forgetting be myself. I keep forgetting to forgive. To forget. To be a friend. I keep forgetting to stand up. I keep forgetting to go to sleep earlier. I keep forgetting to appreciate you. Your smile. You laugh. Your kiss. Our hugs. I keep forgetting to open up. I keep forgetting to cry. I keep forgetting to mindlessly dream for the sake of mindlessly dreaming. I keep forgetting to lock up my heart. I keep forgetting to not take things for granted. I keep forgetting to love my family. When will we own ourselves completely? I keep forgetting to laugh my guts up about something that isn't funny. That is funny. That doesn't make sense no matter where I put the inflections. I keep forgetting to tie my shoes. I keep forgetting to put down my guard. I keep forgetting to compliment my friends. I keep forgetting the name of that song. I keep forgetting. I keep forgetting those in peril. Those in danger. Those who're starving. Those who need my help. But tonight's not the last time I'll see the light. I'll never forget again.
