So much to Remember - Part 1

Oh, if only I could forget to remember...

If only the past would slip through my heart
    the way it slipped
      through my hands...

If only I could say "Amen," and
    "Thanks for the memories," and
      "Thy will be done."
        (Thank you sir, may I have another?)

But every moment...
    and every heartbeat (so very like the one before)
      reminds me of what I had
        and what I lost.
          And what could have been...
           (If only in my mind.)

Oh, if only I could forget to remember...

I might remember to breathe.
