I CAN FORGET

I can forget the smell of rain

I can forget your laugh again

But what I can't forget is the way you left

Your blue eyes full of disdain

I can forget you holding my hand

Smiling at the marching band

But what I can't forget is feeling bereft

I hope you can understand

I can forget long talks we had

I can forget not feeling so bad

Wanting a friend, not a dead-end

One day I won't be so sad
