I threw away your toothbrush today
After I got back from a date with someone new
It’s not because I love this girl, or because I don’t love her
But because I need to move on
I’ve spent too many nights brushing my teeth and seeing you next to me when I close my eyes

Rubbing off your mascara with water because I never bought makeup remover
Holding your face close through my blurry, contact-less vision
Marveling at how lucky I was to have someone of such beauty right here in my arms
Stepping into our cold bed and warming each other like hands around a fire
Falling asleep to the sound of your voice

But it’s just a toothbrush
