Do not allow me to forget you

Most things are forgotten over time. Even the war itself the life-and-death struggle people went through is now like something from the distant past. Were so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past are no longer in orbit around our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about everyday too many new things we have to learn. But still no matter how much time passes no matter what takes place in the interim there are some things we can never assign to oblivion memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever like a touchstone.

Well nowIf little by little you stop loving meI shall stop loving youLittle by littleIf suddenly you forget meDo not look for meFor I shall already have forgotten youIf you think it long and mad the wind of banners that passes through my lifeAnd you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have rootsRememberThat on that day at that hour I shall lift my armsAnd my roots will set off to seek another land

If pain must come may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.

Forgetting who you are is so much more complicated than simply forgetting your name. Its also forgetting your dreams. Your aspirations. What makes you happy. What you pray youll never have to live without. Its meeting yourself for the first time and not being sure of your first impression.

The true definition of mental illness is when the majority of your time is spent in the past or future but rarely living in the realism of NOW.
