We were together, I forget the rest.
Walt Whitman, Poet
“It is such a simple quote and it means so much because at the end of our lives or at the end of this experience, all that we really remember is the feeling of being together and anything else and everything else just collapses and falls down. Even just saying the words, “We were together, I forget the rest” makes my heart jump out of my chest. I think about my husband when we were together and I believe that millions of people identify with that quote. It’s so popular because of that feeling they get when the second part of the quote says ‘and I forget the rest’ because nothing else is important. Nothing else is more significant than the fact that we were together.”
