i deleted the poems
tore up the letter
tried to toss you away

but i couldn't

and now,
now
i try to figure out where to put you

on a shelf?
waiting to be dusted off

in a corner?
there, but hidden

in the spotlight?
so i don't lose track of you again

there are no right answers,
at least, i think?
but there are so many questions
so many possibilities

blink
and i might miss it
