Do you remember the butterflies?

The smart comments, quick laughs,

And the rolling of eyes?

Do you remember the glares?

The hard looks, watchful glances,

And the lasting stares?

Because those are the things

That I myself have to remember to forget.

The moments where I felt for sure I loved you

And forgot that you can't be my safety net

When I kissed you goodbye,

Wasn't I supposed to forget?

I shouldn't be asking myself why

I still remember like I do

I was supposed to forget you

Forget me

Forget everything that made us unique

Don't you remember,

You're not supposed to make me go weak

At the knees

Don't you remember,

You're not what I need

Don't you see?

You'll only hurt me

Break my heart

And tease me

You see, when we said goodbye

I told myself to forget our love

And how it almost didn't die

To forget the hurdles

And forget the mountains we could have climbed

Because you aren't worth

My time

So what if instead of rembering to forget

I forget to remember

Yeah what if I forget us

The heartache, tears,

And how you abused my trust

What if I forgot

Why we said goodbye?

Why don't I?

Because it's no secret,

I'd just ask myself why

And say next time remember to forget.

Tell me

Do you remember the butterflies?

The smart comments, quick laughs,

And the rolling of eyes?

Do you remember the glares?

The hard looks, watchful glances,

And the lasting stares?

You do?

Well who cares.
