Absinthe

i want to remember
birthdays,
i want to remember
names and faces,
i want to remember
dates and times,
i want to remember
names of authors,
i want to remember
words of songs,
i want to remember
where i kept my purse,
i want to remember
everyday ordinary things.

i want to forget
the you and i,
i want to forget
your laugh
i want to forget
the crinkle in your eyes,
i want to forget
how you fold your shirtsleeves,
i want to forget
the fleeting touch of your hand
i want to forget
how you look at me
i want to forget
to breathe if you’re not there.
