Remembering

The mind I am told is very useful. 
Except when remembering.
I hate remembering,
The past

I remember it all,
Too well
As if it just occurred. 

I remember, 
 what shouldn't have been.
Innocence lost

But worst of all I remember is 
How he smelled -- --
 Old Spice and peanut butter breath.

I despise Old Spice, 
 and tolerate peanut butter.
