When you forget something..

I often remember birthdays or any other day for people who are dear to me. Is it just because I have a good memory? Have you realized how you do not forget to call someone even when you are in the thick of something really important. And then there are also those times when you forget wishing a friend on birthday even after receiving multiple reminders on your phone. I wrote a few lines around that. 

I remember this day

not because it is on my calendar

or that I have a good memory,

But just for a simple reason

that you are important to me.

What makes me remember some days and not all

What makes me remember them sometimes and not always

Is it just that it slips from my mind occasionally that I forget

I find many people giving out this reason though

But I feel there's more to it.

It is not just the brain cells that makes us remember or forget

but our feelings that are tied to a day or a person.

When I remember a day that is important to you

It is not just the wishes that go with it

but a silent message that says - I care for what matters to you.

Next time when we forget a day

Let's not say that we just forgot

Because the fact is

It was simply not a part of our priorities.
