Someday, I Forget

Someday I hope I forget,
The weight you chose to impose,
A silence I won’t regret,
Though grief still quietly grows.

You crossed what I could not mend,
And carved through trust I had kept,
I called you more than a friend,
While pieces of me just wept.

I gave with nothing withheld,
No ledger kept of the cost,
Each promise fiercely upheld,
Though futures quietly lost.

The dreams we shaped from thin air,
Now drift where I cannot reach,
I search but find nothing there,
Just echoes I cannot teach.

Yet time will loosen this chain,
And soften all that remains,
I will not carry this pain,
Nor live within its refrains.

Someday your name will grow faint,
No longer etched in my chest,
No memory left to acquaint,
Just distance—and finally rest.
