Forget You Poem by Ashley Fortin

Why can't I forget?
It seems to me that to remember you is more painful then having no memory of you at all.
Saddened by the thought of that being the truth... because it is.
Why can't I forget you?
I want to. I want to hate you like you wanted me to have done in the beggining. Why was I so ignorant? I repented the pain for so long... I didn't believe your words. In the end though. You were right, we could not last forever together. In the end it was my fault... for not hating you.
I asked you where all our happy thoughts went.
All you could reply was simply that we never had any.
It was true. There never was any. Not a thought.
We just loved eachother. To death. Believe me. To death.
I never gave up on you... and you never on me. You asked me to just give in. Just say it. Just say those words. 'I hate you.'
I'm sorry. I was too stupid. It wasn't what I wanted. Ever.
But now?
Should I give you the truth?
The one that hurts the most?
The one that writhes pain in my heart?
The one that sends acid through my veins at the thought?
No. I would still love you. I would never say those words.
Your so angry but you can't say anything... you just collapse.
Because he knows it too. We were never to be apart. We were never meant to never be in pain. We feel it everyday.
I love you.
I want to forget you.
I want to hate you.
Could I ever forget you?
No.
Would I ever be able to hate you?
No.
Will I always love you... even if its what kills me?
Yes.
To death. Believe me. To death.
