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 for the best
No one will remember but I can't forget
Grateful we've taken different paths
Don't want to resort to angry words
Some days I'm mired in our wreckage
Trapped in a memory
That time. To this day, it's so keen
You close to me
When we cut class after algebra
Gazing at each other
Finishing each other's sentences
We were closely knit
I pined over you for years
Thinking in time
We'd be reunited
No one will remember but I can't forget
Grateful we've taken different paths
I need to break free from the memories
Worth mentioning
I will always be somewhat smitten
