To Forget

I guess some things are harder to forget,

because I can still feel his hair beneath my hands

I can still feel his breath on my neck

and his mouth on mine.

I guess some things are hard not to regret,

because I think if I'd never known him,

I couldn't miss him

and feel the empty space where he belongs.

I guess some things are harder to forget.

He told me he thinks of me

as the raven riding the Milkyway

with my black hair and my white skin.

I think of him as the boy who took my heart

to the grave.

I guess some things are hard not to imagine,

because there is a night in my mind when he touched my face

and said he loved me, loved me

and the stars hung above us, dotted like kisses.

This is a night that never happened.

I guess some things are hard not to regret,

like that he is dead now

bones in the ground

and my short time with him only makes me

miss him more.

But in the end, I guess some things were never really there.
