The best way to tell if you matter to someone, is to see if they remember what you told them. There’s no such thing as a bad memory, not if you put in the effort to remember.
I wouldn’t expect you to remember something immediately, some people don’t have such good memory. But I think it’s basic courtesy to remember something someone told you not for the first time. I know I can’t expect you to remember the minute details like I do (partially because I probably care more than you), but it’s basic respect. It’s not something I will want to say, but I am genuinely disappointed in you.
You’re always hooked up in the moment, thrilled for the little surprises. You’re always making promises, saying words you probably don’t mean 3 minutes later. You pretend to care, but I honestly don’t think you do. You forget everything I say, and a few weeks later it’s like nothing ever happened. I can’t accept that.
If you can’t so much as remember a promise you made, then don’t make it. If you can’t handle the pressure of leaving something in your mind for more than a few seconds before chucking it out of your memory bin, then don’t say something you don’t mean. Because I will remember it, and I am the one who will get hurt by your oblivion.
Sometimes I wish, I could forget just as easily as you. I wish I could forget something important to you, then pretend to apologize as if it’s okay. You’re hurt? Nevermind, sorry. I forgot. I always forget.
You didn’t forget. You couldn’t take the fucking bother to remember.
Empty promises. Endless reminders. In the end, nothing ever happened because you had to forget about it.
