in time i'm sure i won't remember her name
or the date of the night when she claimed
she could be with me forever
the plots of the movies we saw together
even what she wore that night we met
all of this eventually i'll forget

i'll forget the name of her brother
the kind face of her mother
her gentle brown hair
the radiant glow in her stare
the conversations on the phone
her voice's angelic tone
like the fading memory of a distant sunset
they'll last for a moment, but eventually i'll forget

perhaps i'll even forget how one second she adored me
and how in the next she ignored me
forget longing for her voice to hear
and that night when it all came crystal clear
yes eventually i'll forget how "conveniently" she dismissed
me
…but no, i'll always remember that she kissed me
