"If I want I can remember everything"

For some reason, I did the Sept 9th prompt on Sept 6th.  So, to keep with this strange logic, I guess I'll try the Sept 6th prompt for today?  Clearly, I need to find my rhythm again!

 If I want, I can remember everything-
Conversations late into the night,
Kisses stolen behind shrubbery with green leaves glinting moonlight.
The languor of your hand on my thigh.

But memory is dirty; it won't let me stop.
Though I want, I can remember everything-
Evasive glances and stony silence,
A distance that grows despite my pleads and tears,
The heartbreak of being left behind.

So what will it be?
Curse or blessing?
Gift or bane?

If I want, I can remember everything.
But can I also forget you if I try?
