The Inevitable

"Don't forget", she said. Looking at me with those beauiful brown pools, pleading, urging me to get it right for once.

"I won't", I reply, with all the surety of an obnoxious orangutan. "I won't forget...I promise" That...that was a mistake. Right there.

She doesn't believe me. Why should she?

Thinks It's only a matter of time. It's happened before.

Ready with the "I told you so". As hurtful and shameful as it always is, it's also justified.

Always has to be right. It's hard to be wrong, though, when you're always right and she is...always right.

Can't argue. Why bother? Why not cut to the chase and say sorry or maybe do better?

Though...can I? Maybe this will be the time I finally get it right.

If

only...if only it were that simple and I was that confident.

Now if only I could remember what I was told not to forget!
