It’s okay
You’re my friend
I kept your hoodie
That I slept in
It’ll stay in my trunk
Where I threw it
The night I gave you your shirts
And your jackets
I couldn’t give them to you alone
I told her to stay
I knew you’d want it that way
My heart is laden with missing you
As I wipe my tears away
With the sleeve of my jacket that resembles yours
We were too much
too quickly

I liked you a lot
but
loved you close to me
Intensified by inability to pull you
Closer
with my nylon rope
(you later severed)
You felt it
tightly wrapped around the burden on your shoulders
It’s as if you’re heavier than my
presence
Your gravity is drawing me closer to
Acceptance
