Sometimes it's easy to forget

Sometimes I forget.

I forget how small he was.
I forget how sad I was.
I forget the dreams we had.
I forget what should be.
I forget the things I should feel.

His footprints on his headstone.
Sam begging for someone to play with.
The three of us out sledding.
A conversation with a friend.
The empty crib.

How could I forget?

Why do I have to remember?
