You watched her float
on strawberry clouds
a tempest storm
never held her long
she was blowing
in and out of the wind-
in and out of your dreams.

You held her briefly
in you arms but she
couldn't stay still
butterflies cannot be caged
unless they fly on broken wings
and hers remain
slightly tattered.

To forget her
you would have to forget
all the smiles
the hugs, kisses, the laughs
everytime she said hello
and those times she said goodbye
to forget her you would
have to forget yourself.

You wonder how she lost
her luster, her sparkle, her shine
she was beautiful
because you loved her
and you loved her
because she was beautfiul
to you.

You lost your heart
when you pushed her away
thought you could
forget and erase
every memory of her
but they were a piece of you
she was embedded into you.

To forget her
you would have to forget
all the tears
the screams, the cries, the sobs
evertime she said I love you
and the times she said I hate you
to forget her you would
have to forget everything.

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Well written. It is true that to forget somebody you must forget everything associated with them. In the process you for get about alot of yourself. If it is any consolation I'll never forget about you or this beautifully written piece.
