Forgetting

Clinging and holding onto
Something until your hands
Start to hurt is no good.
You need to let some of
The memories and
Moments go. Do not let them
Have power over you and
What you hang onto.
You may want to set them
On fire or delete them from
Your phone or return or
Give them back, but that is
Not the right thing to do.
You can delete those messages
All you want. You can tear your
Love notes all you want, but
Do not throw away things that
Were parts of your relationship.
Although they hurt to look at
They mean a lot to you.
Put them away in boxes that
Go into your closet or under
Your bed or into your head
And heart. They may be
Forgotten, but they will be there
When the hurt lessens and when
You are more ready to deal
With it all. Some things are
Hard to forget.
