After I had it, I lost it
and everyone told me to forget about it.
They only told me this because I didn't belong to it anymore.

Like I was some material thing.
I never thought of myself that way.

But it puts things in perspective
of how people saw me.
And it's easy...

to ask for advice.
Just like it's so easy to respond.

Like it's easy to tell someone to forget.
And I'm not really askin' I'm just sayin'....

When it finally does leave
and you no longer see its presence,
how do you then forget it's absence.
