No One Will Remember

saw a recent photo of you And thought I can handle this Thinking you'll no longer faze me; I'm without your potent sting I'm in control Thoughts pass; our love wasn't built to last We had our times We agree to leave the past behind In hindsight, it's the best decision No one will remember but I can't forget Grateful we've taken different paths Don't want to resort to derision Though some days I'm mired in our aftermath When we cut class after algebra Gazing at each other Finishing each other's sentences We were closely knit For pining over you, Well, hell, who could blame me More than I blame myself In thinking some day We'd be reunited. No one will remember but I can't forget Grateful we've taken different paths Don't want to defer to derision Some days I'm mired in our aftermath Worth mentioning I will always be somewhat smitten
