Poem
Remember how we forgot to fall until we were already in too deep? That the emotions we felt were nothing but small sections of our whole story. And there would always be someone new to make us believe we were everything. Remember how we forgot to look both ways before stumbling into the street? How our parents raced after us anxiously. And we laughed because we didn’t have a care in the world. Remember how we forgot that a broken heart wasn’t the end of the world. That the tears we let stream down our faces were quick to end. But we still thought we would never find love again. Remember how we forgot that sometimes the princess doesn’t find her Prince Charming? But we grew up believing that we’d find the one before anyone else. So we got our hearts broken one too many times, thinking this is it. Remember how we forgot to cry when we hurt? How we held all the tears in to make us invincible. But we found out too late that even invincible things have a weakness. Remember how we forgot to enjoy the little things in life? So we ignored the beauty in flowers blooming. And we regretted it later. Remember how we forgot that everything comes to an end. And how we never know if our life ends in a dot or a dash. So we grow up thinking we’ll get a happy ending. Remember how we forgot to stop thinking about the future? So we didn’t grow up too fast. But we kept thinking ahead and lost sight of the gift of the present. And so before we knew it, our lives became a series of stories beginning with the phrase Remember How We Forgot.
