Forgetting the past

How exactly do you want me to forget my past? Photos, like relics in a museum, are just the visual effects. Throwing them away merely erases the evidence, not the memories. I've been to places, seen other people. I cannot live my life apologizing for not "letting go," when I have let go. I am with you: You are the victor. The rest are simple memories. You cannot ask me to erase them.
