Forgot to change my laundry from the washer to the dryer.

Forgot about the dishes sitting in the drying rack

Forgot to put the downspouts down before the thunderstorm

Forgot for a second that you didn’t love me back.

Forgot to write my journal entry

Forgot to have more than one meal

Forgot to call the bank last night

Forgot how your betrayal feels

Forgot about the turned on fire place

Forgot to clean my desk. Again.

Forgot that practice is Tuesdays, not Thursdays

Forgot that my scars were deep wounds then

Forgot about the pluged in hairdryer

Forgot about the running van

Forgot that I was booked on Friday

When you asked if I had plans

Forgot that I had said ‘no more’

When you inquired about a date

Forgot that I had told you your ‘sorry’

Had come too late

Forgot every warning sign

Forgot my keys

Forgot that my no should mean no

And you can’t say ‘please’

Forgive and forget seems to be my style

Since I forgot the pain

And the broken heart that I was holding

Yet couldn’t explain

Forgot about my great aunt’s birthday

Forgot my library books

And yet a little voice in the back of my head reminds me of what you took

Forgot to vaccum last week

Forgot what I meant to say

But by some miracle up above

I remember to walk away

Remembered love is unconditional

And it goes both ways

Remembered I’m worth more than money buys

Remembered to change the laundry today
