If you wanna be sad it's okay
Be sad.

2.
If you think you can, block him.
Delete his messages and his number,
and his emails.
Delete his poems if you can't delete his thoughts.
You will get to that. (If you want to. It's fine if you don't.)

3.
You think you're happy one moment- exuding joy, energy, ecstasy-
and melancholy the other. You feel you're fluctuating between two shifts
I want to tell you that's okay. It happens. Breathe.
Let it be.

4.
You show me your arms that are tightening with some sort of feeling you're abiding, your feet hurt
You can't name this, words don't get it, I know.
I know we can't know. I know it's Real, though. It is.
We are in it together. It goes away. That's what they all say.
I am believing in it and I hope you can too.

Happy New Year.
