A clear sign of aging

there are times when nothing interesting happens
and so i forget

there are times something interesting happens,
and still i forget

there are times i get the best ideas of my life
two hours of neglecting my thoughts, and i forget

there are times i consider the happiest i've had
a day later, mundane monotony makes me forget

i promised i'll always remember and never forget.
should it break, will i remember to regret it?

from now on, i'll write my life as it happens
lest i forget my life ever happened at all.

that, and my mom will start buying me memoplus.
