all alone in the moonlight

it's happening just like everyone said it would.
(...it's about time!)

i'm forgetting my senior year class schedule.
my locker combination.
which seats were the best in each class room.
the pythagorean theorem.
(no wait, i never actually knew that)
my best friends home phone numbers.
songs that were SO cool when we were in high school.
("Tipsy"? what?!?)
the many failed quizzes, tests, and attempts at being cool.
(...by many i mean...every day of my life)

i'm forgetting high school.
forgetting things in the past that don't matter any more.
and with that comes some relief.

i'm also
(with a little more effort)
forgetting
the many humiliations.
the first car date.
the wrong choices
the advice
(bad, awful, and just terrible)
the ones i said i loved...
and the ones i actually did.
the ones who broke my heart...
and the ones who still hate me for breaking theirs.

but while forgetting, i'm learning.
while learning, i'm growing.
while growing, i'm becoming
becoming Jamie.
