forget you

this is the part where i forget you
invent a world without you here
pretend you never made me laugh
ignore the urge to make you smile

this is the part where i forget you
settle for how things used to be
wake without wondering what you’re doing
sleep without dreaming you’re by my side

this the is the part where i forget you
discard the tales i meant to share
move on from wishing things were different
dismiss the tears i don’t deserve

this is the part where i forget you
resist the pain – why would I hurt?
allow the scabs to fill your absence
cover the scars that show I cared
