Old Memories

We haven’t talked in days
or months
or maybe even in years
I’ve lost count
In the beginning it seemed impossible
to forget all those old memories we shared.
And then one day
In the blink of an eye
Impossible seemed possible;
Forgetting seemed easy.
DING…DING
It’s a new text message…
from that same person you tried to forget
in days
or months
or maybe even in years
All those old memories that you
spent so much time trying to forget
speed directly towards you
like a bunch of 120 mph NASCAR drivers heading towards the finish line
Ha…and you actually thought
it was possible to forget all those old memories
…Think again…

I used to have a really good friend and we eventually began to drift apart so I tried to forget all of the memories we shared but as you can tell in the poem, it didn't work out to well
