I am forgetting the hurt, but not forgetting you.

Info

I traveled 3000 miles to forget the hurt. No, not to forget you. I won't forget you, our memories, or even how much I loved you. Those are too beautiful to forget, but make no mistake. I am not holding on to those anymore. 

I am unclenching my fists and letting myself be freed from the ghosts of a love story that has reached its tragic end. I am unclenching my fists, releasing my fingers one by one, from hanging on tight when there was nothing left to hold on to. I am unclenching my fists, opening my palms, ready for someone else to take my hand in theirs.

I am not forgetting you, or how there was once an 'us', instead I am forgetting the pain that your goodbye caused me. I am forgetting the way my heart broke, or how I cried when you turned your back on me. 

I am not forgetting you because you are still one of the characters in my life I am fond of. I am not forgetting you as a person, because we had been lovers, best friends, confidante, partners. I am not forgetting you because I also learned a lot from you.

So if someday we come across each other again, I can look in your eyes and tell you: "You were never forgotten, but I am also no longer in pain; you were never forgotten but I have also learned to move on"

I did not forget you, and won't ever forget you, but the pain of loving you, I have forgotten and let go.
