I FORGOT ....??

I forgot what life is all about ...
I forgot what it meant to cry ...
I forgot that pretending to be happy
Doesn't make you happy ...
And that pretending to be smart
Doesn't make you smart ...
I forgot that you can't just forget the past
In fear of the future ...

I forgot that you can't control
Falling in love ..
And if you really do fall in love,
Then you can't make yourself fall

OUT of love ..
I learned that I can love ....

I learned that it's okay to mess up ..
And it's okay to ask for help .
And it's okay to feel like hell .
I learned it's okay to complain and whine
To all your friends for a whole day ...

I've learnt that sometimes the things
You want most,
You just can't have.
I've learnt that the greatest thing
About life isn't the parties or the hook-ups ....
