help me remember, make me forget

dreams here and dreams gone
vague misty shadows that taunt reality
i want to remember love in all its glory
first glance, first blush, first touch,
first hesitant kiss
then the one that deepens
into the moan that can rock the world
desire
i want to forget the pain love lost can cause
the heartbreak of betrayal
the confusion of what went wrong
i want to remember what it feels like
to come home for a reason
warm house, low soft lights, routines
pajamas and slippers
the security of a future
don't want to think ever again
of nights alone in bed
wondering why the sofa was preferred
cold shoulders, apathetic detachment
distant unconcerned emotions
frustration
or driving home past other homes
with soft lights, locked doors, routines
wondering
i want to remember joy and laughter
and forget loneliness and tears

help me remember
make me forget
