forget

Today was normal
It was the same day millions of others had today, and before today
And so had I
The alarm went off hours before I wanted
Work went on hours longer then I wanted
Come home
The house is a mess. You didn’t do the dishes... again

Normal

I went on, never thinking, never remembering

Looking for a shirt to wear, I have to do laundry
Reach in the back
There it is
The green shirt, the one I wore, that night, when you, you walked hand in hand with

Her

And I’m back
Two years ago and I’m back there
In the parking lot, with my supper in a grocery bag, looking at you, walking with

Her

And I cry

Why does this come back to me so strongly?
Why can’t the past stay in the past?
Lie, cry, die, why, that is the way

Why

You have forgotten, you never think, you don’t know
Why should you?
You weren’t the one with your heart open, bleeding, dead
You think it’s in the past, over, done
You think it's over, so I should forget

Forget, forget, forget

The word has lost all meaning
It’s two years later for you, but I’m still there
You don't know
It's not that easy, you don't know that...

Forgiving is easy... forgetting is harder.
