Forget
"raindrops" by Nevin"You forget all of it anyway. First, you forget everything you learned -
the dates of the Hay-Herran Treaty and the Pythagorean theorem. You especially
forget everything you didn't really learn, but just memorized the night before.
You forget the names of all but one or two of your teachers, and eventually
you'll forget those too. You forget your junior year class schedule and where
you used to sit and your best friend's home phone number and the lyrics to that
song you must have played a million times.... And eventually, but slowly, oh so
slowly, you forget your humiliations - even the ones that seemed indelible just
fadeaway. You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart,
athletic, and not. Who went to a good college. Who threw the best parties. Who
could get you pot. You forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and
even the ones you actually did. They're the last to go. And then once you've
forgotten enough, you love someone else."

I make sure to write it all down... shhh.. i hope to never forget :) xxoxoo
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. I do remember my junior year class schedule. Bf's home phone, 896-4613, there are way too many songs. I'm glad I forgot who was cool and smart etc, and who went to a good college. But Nametag got me pot. I'm forgetting why I loved some of them, why we were even friends, why I dated them.
But you, my dear, will never, ever be forgotten. You've irreversably changed me, and people don't forget that.
The character giving the speech was in his 50s, so I think we're meant to lack a bit of the perspective on this one. But I still like it.
Love this.
