I have forgotten about you like the sun forgot its warmth
Like the ocean forgot its depth
Like the wind forgot to howl
And like the day forgot its night.
I have forgotten about you like the living forget to breathe
Like the clock forgot to tick
Like the fire forgot to burn
And like the tears forgot to pour.
I have forgotten about you like the winter forgot its chill
Like the pierce forgot its sting
Like the dog forgot his bark
And like the fear forgot its prey.
I have forgotten about you like the cut forgot to bleed
Like the heartache forgot to throb
Like the distance forgot its divide
And like change forgot to be constant.
I have forgotten about you like the inevitable forgot to follow through
Like passion forgot to consume
Like love forgot to lift
And like forever forgot to go the distance.
