Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

Forgetting All of This

One Day,
I'll forget all of this.

Everything forgotten
I want to remember.
To hold on
to those moments in life
filled with awe.

Letting go of the pain
Is no loss.
No one minds.

Tears and broken hearts
Are more easily recalled
Than our laughter.

Like stumps
In a felled forrest
That linger
Long after the woodsman.

I just sit here,
Write it all down,
Smile for a while.

Long from now,
This book can reopen
traveled through time
These golden moments.

Fear lingers shadowy
But is dashed and cowed
When the sunshine of love
transcends time and space.
