Painful Memories

I remember how good it was,
I also remember how bad it could be.
I remember how happy I was,
I also remember how sad I could be.

I remember the laughs that we shared,
I also remember the tears that were shed.
I remember how seeing you made my day,
I also remember how you faded away.

I remember but I want to forget
All those painful memories.
