I was the moon,
terribly in love
with you, the earth-
always chasing,
but never caught up.
My biggest fear
came to pass:
you were gone.
And with you,
a rigid, broken piece
of my heart.
I unlearned you,
every part I loved,
forcing myself to forget,
as if telling the moon
to stop revolving
around the earth
was possible.
i wonder if you know you were my first love
