==Explanation==
At the beginning of the comic, [[Cueball]] is wandering around in a barren area, supposedly a desert, thinking about his ex-partner, in which he, at first, appears to be fondly remembering them, but the last two boxes explain that he is trying to take a long walk to forget them, and is obviously not very good at it.

The title text implies that his ex-partner had easily forgotten him, and he wishes that he could forget more easily. It's also possible that he means that it's so hard to forget them that forgetting anything else is simple in comparison to it.

There is a similar twist in comics [[71: In the Trees]] and [[1042: Never]].

Note: When Cueball mentions walking 1000 miles, he may be exaggerating, as, due to his lack of hiking/traveling gear, most likely has only walked a hundred or so, either that, or the story is similar in nature, or even in the same universe, as [[505: A Bunch of Rocks|comic 505]]. Though this might also be a nod to a What If question about how long it would take for two immortal people to find each other on a barren planet.

==Transcript==
:[Cueball is walking through a wasteland talking to himself.]
:Cueball: I am alone in this wasteland, a thousand miles from you.
:Cueball: But I haven't forgotten the feel of your skin, your mischievous smile.
:Cueball: You'd think a thousand miles would be enough.
:Cueball: I guess I'll keep walking.
