*Getting over you

I have put myself on a plan
To purge you from my life.
I washed your sweater today.
The one I stole when you left me.
It has been under my pillow
Since that day.
But I must move on.

Yet  already I miss the perfume of you.
The smell of morning mist.
Like that day in the springtime
When you kissed me and whispered
Softly almost shyly I love you honey
.
I deleted your playlist this morning
Full of your hipster music.
But all day your favorite tune
Has stuck in my head
it will not fade away.

My mother called to see
how I am getting along without you.
I told her I had found a new lady
How beautiful she was
How her smile was like sunshine.
And her softness made me cry.
It was a sweet untruth.
But she said
It sounded a lot like you.

I will be over you completely
in a few more weeks
when the spring arrives.
But then I should never
Think of spring.
Because that would surely
break my heart in two.
