Forget to Remember

i remember those days sitting on the bench, alone with my thoughts
i remember when all that i cared about was sports. those were simple times
i remember when i couldn't get enough i laughed hysterically ever time i watched emperor's new groove. now i don't usually crack a smile.
i remember when life wasn't so serious

i remember when we were graded on effort, rather than our understanding of the material
i remember when i couldn't drive and all i wished for was my own car to drive anywhere i wanted whenever i wanted. now instead of driving all over i just sit at home and do nothing. go figure.

i remember when freedom was all i wanted. i still kinda want that but i'm scared of the implications and the responsibility
i remember when i didn't understand girls. i still don't.

i wonder how much i'll forget to remember
