Forgetting you
October 11, 2018
Forgetting you
Your bittersweet kisses
Make me forget
The worse is gone
When I am with you, I'm at my highest
When you’re gone I feel my lowest
Loving you will kill me yet,
I can’t stop
I know having you stay is a hidden sin
But I think of you every day
Your smile entices me
Your eyes invite me
Your laugh excites me
Your cries break me
Hurting you was not planned, but loving you was
I wish I could take it back
Feel your touch
But you are my past
And someone else’s future
You are not mine
And I need to forget you

I have LIVED this poem. My eyes were watering as I read it. The way it is written flows beautifully, the way the thoughts connect and kind of feed off of one another is flawless. AMAZING. I also love the back and forth between your heart's desire and the hard reality that is hard to face. SO RELATABLE to me! I needed this. Thank you.

The poem is highly relatable due to its focus on universal themes of love, loss, and emotional conflict, which are central to the human experience. The speaker's vulnerability in describing the internal struggle between intense passion and the pain of a doomed relationship resonates with readers who have experienced similar dilemmas.

so the little story is simply talking about how they love this love one and whatever their going through it so hard for them because they trying to let go but they cant and i think i can relate to this story a little bit because it gives out a lot of emotions and how things really are .
