Laughter and Forgetting

How I would love to forget
The tinkle of our laughter
The sparks in our eyes
The lightness of our hearts

It is the skip of my heartbeat I would like to forget
When I heard your voice calling my name
It is the silent longing for you I would like to forget
Waiting for you to come through the doors

The scent of our passionate night
Wafting through the morning air
The taste of your lips on mine
How much I would like to forget

The reassuring warmth of your arms around me
Your heart-stopping smile when you looked at me
The laughter you brought to me
How much I wish to forget it all

The hours spent arguing about things
The sudden anger and loving requests
Your touch caressing my tassles
How much I would wish to forget

I would like to forget the words spoken
The promises unkept and dreams broken
The unsaid vows that were taken
For the soul to be left vacant

From my memory and yours
The image of us being together ever
Wiped away the laughter and welcome the forgetting
