Elephant Shoes

I accidentally thought of you.

It wasn't like other times, when you were just in the back of my brain all day long, waiting for your chance to spring forth and flood my every thought.

There were times when I'd purposely go look for reminders of you, where I could find them. This was not like that.

I have been known to listen to songs that remind me of you, on quiet nights, and feel the yearn for your smile...your eyes. You. It wasn't what happened on this occasion, either.

No mourning took place. No regrets. No walk down memory lane. It was just your name and an odd sense of nothingness inside.

I accidentally thought of you...and I'm glad. It just means I had finally forgotten.
