I Want To Forget

I want to forget where this started,
where this long journey to nowhere
found its beginning.
I want to forget how you made me crazy,
how I fell in love with you.
I want to forget every time you took my breath away,
how you were the most beautiful person I’d ever met,
every time I lost myself in you.
I want to forget every memory I never made with you,
every moment to remember that never happened,
everything I saw in us that never blossomed.
I want to forget every passionate thought,
every time I wanted to kiss you,
to hold you,
to feel your warmth against me,
to hear your heart beating.
I want to forget how I wanted to see the fire burning in your eyes,
how I wanted you to love me,
how I wanted you to be with me forever.
I want to forget that I love you.
I just can’t.

    Mmmm… lovely and poignant. The whole poem serves your purpose very well, but especially the line “I want to forget every memory I never made with you” – gave me chills.

    I think that particular line serves its purpose well to remark about how the recipient of the poem never really gave the writer a chance, as well as a small remark about the dreams of the writer never really coming true.
