Anniversary

*I don’t know if I’m happy;

because I didn’t remember right away,

Or upset;

because I definitely feel weighted.*

 

*“It’s just a number,” I reassure;

just a number and just a boy,

And everything;

(Almost everything) that I’m missing.

That I lost.*

 

*I don’t know if I like that I;

remember, as I do,

Or if;

I like the privacy of it.

Of knowing.

Of you not knowing.*

 

*I do feel something, I don’t feel safe;

in the knowledge that I’d still take you back,

But you’ll never ask.*
