Don’t forget the hurt and how long it has taken for you to heal

Do you want to relive that pain?

Do you want to keep allowing the same people into your lives?

How many times do you need to learn that you can’t change people?

That no matter what potential you see in their heart and eyes

it is not for you to bring out.

Do not forget

That although the ocean

Can be serene in the middle of the day

Its darkness in a winter night

Can be relentlessly cold

Listen to me. Do not forget.

That attachment is what is hurting you.

A memory is just a thought

But when a feeling is attached to that memory

We don’t want it to fade away.

But do not all things come to an end?

The desire for the night club to play one more song

The desperation when having a panic attack

All is temporary no matter how fierce it may feel

So do not forget

that this pain will subside

though you’ll carry a bruise

for a little while.

Do not forget. Do not Forget. Do not Forget.
