Back to the Drawing Board

I kept thinking that maybe if I

Ignored you

Pushed you away

Dismissed those thoughts

I could get over you.

Sorry, try again.

Perhaps if I

Talked about you

Talked to you

Remembered the fun times

I could get over you.

Two strikes.

I知 out of ideas.

I知 not over you.

I try so hard,

I think I succeed . . .

But then I realize

I致e failed.

I知 not used to failing,

And I知 beginning to worry

That I値l never be over you.

I値l see you on the street

In twenty years

My insides will lurch,

My mind will cry.

Then I値l say hello,

Good to see you,

How is your wife?

Inside I値l be screaming

Why did I make you go?

How did you stop caring so suddenly?

Why do I sound so phony?

But still

I wonder if I壇 give it up.

I don稚 think I壇 trade your kisses

Your words

Your love

For a life without you.

I know I値l never have you

Ever

But at least I can swim in the memories

Bathe in the love

Remembered by me,

Forgotten by you.

I知 stuck in this pointless obsession.

I知 sorry.
