I can't remember to forget you

I’ll never be bored enough to call you,

sorry enough to apologize

or sad enough to miss you.

I’ll never be lonely enough to want you

miserable enough to cry

or impulsive enough to see you.

I’m not happy enough to forget you

angry enough to regret you

or secure enough for contentment.

I’m not curious enough to dream you

wicked enough to curse you

or good enough to keep you.

I won’t be dumb enough to love you

naive enough to adore you

or desperate enough to beg you.

I won’t be cruel enough to begrudge you

jealous enough to hate you

or heartless enough to abandon you.

I’m not worried enough to think of you

spiteful enough to betray you

or inspired enough to write . . . about . . . you . . .
