Cast Aside

Wishes of remembrance must subside

Memories of love and moments of sorrow

Altogether I wish to cast them aside.

Reminiscence of sweet kisses under a summer moon

Intimacy of almost eternal hugs like no tomorrow

I banish them along-side pink sugar perfume.

Fireworks flustering inside from our touch

Tears that I've caused you now make me smile

Unwanted now we realize our love was a crutch

Cloudy ignorance held my past, yet presently lucid

Lustful recollections of our bodies we'd defile

Dismiss these thoughts for they have become putrid

The secrets that you've shared can now be forgotten

So long as the duality is thrown out together

From the rough patches to the safety of delicate cotton

Our connection is severed and nothing can be implied

So long "Mr. Sun", hello gray skies and stormy weather

With all of my heart, the universe knows we tried

But altogether... I cast it all aside.
