Pain dulls with time, they say. Things will get better soon.

But how can I, when the reason why it doesn't hurt so much anymore is because I've forgotten you? The memories start to fade from my mind and your presence - which I've put on a pedestal for years - have slipped from its place and disappeared. I can't remember how your calloused hand fit perfectly with mine, or how you say my name with those inviting lips of yours.

I don't know if I want to forget you, but I want to feel you in my grasp again.
