Remember to Forget, an artemis fowl fanfic

Disclaimer: I do not own the Artemis Fowl series or anything. Please don't hurt me! ;-; Or...y'know...sue me.

A/N: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE POEM: I have been told by several 'previewers' that the poem makes Holly sound lovesick. Holly and Artemis have a friendly relationship, if not something more. They kid around with each other. They help each other out. Suddenly, they can't see each other because Artemis doesn't remember her. If you lost your best friend and they forgot you, I'm sure you'd mope around, too. Maybe even seem a little LOVESICK (hint hint)?

Also, it has been a while since I read the third book, so if I have misreported information in the poem about Holly and Artemis' "final" (I heard a fourth book was being written) farewell, I apologize a million times over.

Remember to Forget In the Point of View of Holly Short

They smile at me sadly
I don't truly realize why...
You were a threat they're rid of now...
But they remember our goodbye.

A faerie's memory is vivid
So I remember, too
I recall that bitter day
I said farewell to you.

I can feel the tears still welling
And I still don't want to cry
What would you have thought back then
If I had cried through my goodbye?

You seemed so strong and chuckled
Yet, I couldn't even smile
You were sure that I'd forget
At least, after a while

You didn't know how wrong you were
You were never so off before
You didn't realize I'd remember,
Didn't see the pain in store

You knew we'd never meet again
You were ready to let go
I stood by and watched you sadly
Oh, how I wanted you to know!

Know that I would miss you!
Know I wasn't ready yet!
You wouldn't remember, anyway
But I can't remember to forget.

So every night I lie awake
I try to be like you
I try to clear my mind
And forget all we went through

But then you float across my mind
Your face holds no regret
I get so lost within your eyes
I don't remember to forget.

Sometimes I miss your voice so much
I sneak past the faerie guard
Just to watch you at your Manor
And be the object of disregard.

I return underground shortly after this
Only to realize what I did not before:
The only reason I don't let go
Is so I can see you at least once more

I know you think I've had my fill
Or, you would if you could know
You'd tell me to stop remembering
You'd tell me to let go

I know because I've heard your voice
I hear it late at night
You tell me that you aren't angry
That, if I forget, it is all right.

You smile at me sadly, too
Regret now in your eyes
I know you're just my dream again
But now we cry through our goodbyes.

And once again, I hear your voice
It now speaks with much regret
"My dearest friend, Holly Short
Tonight, remember to forget..."

Your dark hair clouds your gorgeous eyes
As you being to fade a way
I know you are just a memory
One that doesn't want to stay.

Because of my knowledge of your will
I say nothing as you go
I begin to cry for you once more
As I realize you still don't know

But as I close my eyes and wince
I know I should not fret
For you are the one who reminded me
That I should remember to forget.

Tonight, I promise to remember
As I drift into my deepest sleep
I promised I'd forget you
And this promise I plan to keep

...

They smile at me sadly
I don't truly realize why
I don't recall who left or when
But I'm sure I said goodbye...
