Don't Ask Me to Forget

If you ask me if I still think about them, if I sometimes wonder how they are doing, the answer will be yes. It will be yes today, tomorrow, and 10 years from now. Why? Because the impact they had on my life was grand.They taught me something new about myself, they helped me better myself, and they made it possible for us to be. So don’t ask me to forget, or to stop thinking about them. I won’t. And if we ever stop being, I won’t forget you either.

You see the nature of the relationship doesn’t matter. Whether we were fully immersed in each others lives, almost together, or only made each other smile for a short period…it mattered, it matters. It affected me, and so I hold it close to my heart.

It won’t change what’s happening now, it won’t revive what happened then. It will only make me appreciate the big picture.

So let me enjoy my history, it led me to you.
