Less

You're not going to forget,

no matter how much you wish you would.

Memories are hard to shake,

you'd sell them in a minute if you could.

You will think about it less,

as time will slowly nurse your wounds.

You will forgive yourself forever,

and start to enjoy lazy afternoons.

And even when you remember,

and feel your heart grabbed in a vice of cold,

your panic attacks will subside

and you will find new hands to hold.

I'm not saying that it's perfect,

or that the pain will ever truly go away,

but eventually it will happen

when you forget to hurt for the very first day.
