I
wish I could forget you,
As
easily as you forgot me,
And
clean up every last drop,
And
memory of your being.
Throw
away the moments,
And
wipe away the heartbeats,
Wash
away the colours,
And
all the prints of your feet.
I
wish we had never met,
And
so I would never know you,
Nor
would I know the pain,
Of
the blankness of your eyes.
The
way you just ignore me,
The
way you just dismiss,
The
way you run over my love,
And
not even know you kill.
I
will erase you,
As
completely as you erased me,
I
will forget you,
As
you really have forgotten me.
The
songs will all fade out,
And
the roses wither away,
The
pages of my sketchbook torn out,
Forget
everything we ever said.
But
still a part of you remains,
That
I cannot remove,
A
part of you stays,
And
it will never move.
It
calls out to me,
In
abandoned houses we leave,
It
whispers as everything else is blocked,
It
says to me, “Meet me in Montauk”.
So
I will meet you again for the first time,
In
the white sands and rainy beaches,
We’ll
lie down together in icy lakes,
Look
up at the stars and make up their names,
And
if you’re afraid how different would it be,
When
it comes to it, I know you’ll see,
You
will whisper to me when everything else is blocked,
Will
forever say to me, “Meet me in Montauk”.
A sort of tribute to the film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
