today i listened to a song
that you once called "our song"
and it reminded me of you
and all that you stand for
alone at home,
i lay on the cold tiled living room floor
shut my eyes
and listened.
i will admit that i cried a few tears for you;
i looked at a picture of us from months ago
and sighed because it seemed like just yesterday to me.
i remembered you
i remembered us
it hurt for a while,
but i admitted to myself that i did miss you
and then i reached out
and let you go.
this feeling will fade in time, i know
and i told myself to be strong.
i think it worked.
the song ended,
i took my earphones from my ears,
and i stood up.
i must have left the part of me that loves you
on the ground behind me,
because i think i'm finally over you.
