Can I forget?

No, I can not force myself to forget some one. Intially, out of sheer emotion I might be successful but not for good. Time and experience has a way of weaving itself in and out of lifetimes. Memories come up, driving down the street you see an individual who looks like the object of your wanton forgetfulness. Watching Tv, a voice, a storyline, the emotional climate of the scene; something triggers a memory. A special time of the year, a song, a sweater. Completely forget? NO, but hopefully the memories will soften and not feel so sharp.
