Oh So Many Years Ago

Forgetting the unforgettable
and remembering what we forgot.

Halting to see what we used to notice all the time
And learning how to live like the rest of the world would.

Only smiling when necessary
and not necessarily smiling when we really want to.

Forgetting what it felt like to not worry
and saying words we never thought we knew.

Never meaning what we say
and never saying what we mean.

Failing to recall what the embrace of the ones we love felt like
and a new disregard for our initial reactions,
just because you think its what some one else would do
in that same situation.

Taking time to gather our thoughts
and think of something to say while drowning out the urge
to say the truths of the matter.

Remembering to pretend to love or to hate
instead of feeling what we really feel.

Its all just another part of growing up
in a world where nothing makes sense.

These words are my certainty
and they’re always for you.
