Love & dating...35 dedicated to a dear friend...
This is about forgetting. Forgetting many, many things, eventually.
About the jokes we used to share, the things we used to enjoy doing, the food we used to crave for. About the time spent smiling into each other's face, the amazement at how we seem to be able to read each other's mind, the unceasing whining tales. It's more than the disappointments, the hurt, the pain, the abuse, the neglect and everything we once promised we would forget once it's blown over.
It's about forgetting you and what you once meant to me. Actually, it's not about forgetting you, because most of us still remember people we used to date, somehow, for better or for worse. But, yes, it's very much about forgetting what does it mean to have you as part of my life.
Do we forget the feeling of missing someone? Yes. Do we forget to forget? Yes. If you had to remember to forget, honestly, you are trying too hard.
Because, time didn't manage to heal us; time managed to go past us, throwing us more and more things to think about, more and more things to pre-occupy our thoughts with. Slowly, forgetting is like a self-cleanup system and remembering is actually the more tedious task.
