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.
