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
