Remembering To Forget

Woke up this morning Then I closed my eyes again I remembered you were gone I remembered that picture on the night stand was face down I remembered how I missed you I forgot how to forget And before I woke up it was working so well My uncurious unconscious dictated my feelings Filing my head with music and happiness up to the ceiling Where the only thing that mattered was jumping sheep with pink polka dots wearing green hats Woke up this morning feeling loss I remembered your favorite song I remembered how you smiled when I sang it I forgot how to forget The most important thing The one thing I needed to remember I let slip Sliding out of bed I slowly started to push you back into the depths of my mind Starting my day, I’ve pushed you out of the way Here in the waking world I remember how to forget A smile crosses my lips
