More Than A Memory

They say he's only in my head, its going to take time but I'll forget.
They say I need to get on with my life, but what they don't realize:
Is when you're dialing 6 numbers just to hang up the phone,
Driving across town just to see if he's home,
Waking a friend in the dead of the night- just to hear him say its gonna be alright,
When you're finding things to do not to fall asleep,
Because you know he'll be there in your dreams,
That's when he is more than a memory.

I hate it when someone was such a part of your life that you have a hard time letting go. Everyone likes to tell you that with time you'll forget and move on and it wont be hard anymore. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work like that. You can't just hope that eventually you'll get enough new memories that they will drown out the old ones. It just doesn't work that way for me. As much as I wish it did.

Because when your memory and your emotions and your will is unwilling to let him go- its true, he is more than a memory.
