and and and and and and and and and hope

and because 
they will love you 
for who you are 
and 
who you aren't 
and because 
younger you will remember 
all you did 
and 
all you didn't 
and because 
the words you heard 
were sometimes said 
and 
most times weren't 
and because this list 
follows you 
and 
is filed in the past 

i hope you remember 
what's useful 
and 
forget all the rest, 
fast.
