I'M Finally Forgetting
I'm finally forgetting
How you took your tea
Which side your hair was parted
Where you hid your extra key
I simply can't remember
The way you used to smell
Was it musk or soap and water?
I used to know it well
I don't recall your favorite song
The ring tone on your phone
Was that dimple on your right cheek?
Vanilla cup or cone?
Did your skin taste sweet or salty?
Did your lips feel soft to kiss?
Would you run your fingers through my hair?
I remember none of this
I've finally turned a corner
Though it was hard to do
I'm finally forgetting
Because I'm getting over you
You're not my first thought anymore
You don't haunt me in my sleep
Don't miss you like I used to
The pain is not as deep
Yet still I feel some sadness
In a melancholy way
That my mind will make you disappear
Just simply fade away
But the only way to heal me
Is to erase your memory
Every single piece of you
Then I'll finally be free
