when the pieces finally fit

And I will forget you as I would the details of a passing car that which for a moment caught my eye.

And I will forget you as if you were never here.

And I will forget you as if none of your words or thoughts of you mattered to me.

And I will forget as fast as the passing glint of metal circling the earth at the speed of sound.

And I will forget you as if I never knew you. Or knew me in your hands, in your words, in your lips, in your eyes.

And I will forget you as a memory I fail to recall at a moment’s notice.

And I will forget you as if I will find someone else exactly like you

And I will forget you as you have forgotten me

In a moment
In a spur of will
In the detailed sighs of misery and infinite melancholy

And I will forget you as if I do not know how to forgive.
