Forgetting

Forgetting
and moving on
are two very different things.

forgetting
is erasing
the past forever.

moving on
is taking a deep breath,
holding back your tears,
and finding someone or something new.

when you move on
you don't forget the past.
the past made you who you are.
forgetting it will force you to
start from the very beginning
and crawl your way back up.

moving on
is when you can look back
on all of the memories
and just... smile.

forgetting
is lying to your heart.
telling yourself no over and over again...
denying what's in your mind and your heart.

life hurts
things will happen
that change you forever.

love hurts.
choices are made
choices that you will remember
forever.

forgetting
is like regretting
everything that has happened.

forgetting
is a lie
forgetting
is horrible
forgetting
won't do you any good
forgetting
is what I'm begging you not to do.

moving on
is better
moving on
will help you stay alive
moving on
will keep you content
moving on
...is something i can't do.
