Selective Memory

Do you remember the good times
when we put each other high
when we were friends and thought
we'd never say goodbye?

Do you remember the movies, lunches,
Fast Eddies, the video arcade
the hours on the phone talking
about past life and love we made?

Do you remember King's Island
Kentucky, and the Cincinnati Zoo
getting lost and holding hands
the first night we spent all the way through?

Do you remember the time I spent
with you mom as part of the family
walking the dogs and bike riding
shooting pool and darts, and you beating me?

Do you remember your birthday flowers
the drive along the edge of the sea
I remember everything good about you now
and I think it just might be
the end of me...selective memory
