Memories

I like to remember, I like to pretend,

I like to forget that we had to end.

I like to smile when I think about you,

I like to imagine you think of me too.

I like to wonder if you perhaps remember,

The time we spoke last, in early December.

If you could picture the look in my eyes,

When you told me I must say "goodbye".

I like to imagine you hurt as I did,

But my pain, like my heart, is forever hid.

I force my eyes from the letters you penned,

Before my gaze falls on the word "friend".

My brain is now full of fantasies fed,

And I flinch to remember,

It's all in my head.
