You dream of someplace
where the men have better
reasons for calling and you
no longer feel so alone.
Where the sun shines
without the inevitability
of the rain, where the skies
aren't blackened by the
smoke of his cigarettes.
You'll exhale the fresh air,
and you won't remember
the colour of his eyes or the
scar above his left brow.
You'll forget how he
smirked when you said
that you loved him.
You're moving on, the
past will no longer suffocate
you with the fragrance of
its cheap perfume, you'll
learn to count the days rather
than to tick them off.
One day you'll step
forward without looking
back and you'll realize
you are infinite and he is
just a glitch in time.
