Too Many Memories



A few,
As time passes.
Perhaps,
Can be easily forgotten.
This is not unusual.
When one grows older.
Although...
Picked from the many,
Memories to experience them.
The ones important,
Stay to reminisce not to forget.
Until someone else,
Comes along.
To remind another...
'How can you not remember to forget,
We were once together married.
In love.
And promised forever to remain like this.'

'Married?
How did that happen?
I mean...
Why did that happen?
And when?
Were we both there at the same time?
Together?
And...
How long ago had that been?
Forgive me but...
Do you mind telling me your name, again?
There are too many memories to keep,
Remembered.
Especially the important ones.
Don't you agree?
But I will admit this...
You do look familiar to me.'

'Forget it.'

'What?'
