I pray that you take your time before you banish the memories of me from the corners of your mind.
Let me linger a while,
savour the sweetness that once dripped from both our fingertips.
Love letters and poems,
late night laughter and dreams of a happily ever after.
While you prune the dying sunflowers and their browning petals that sit upon your fridge,
as you lay them in their final resting place.
Scattered amongst the trash,
beside the shirt that held my scent that comforted you at night.
I hope you take a moment to reconnect to the things that mattered.
