Today I changed my razor without your reminder.
And cleaned my coffee cup immediately after finishing it,
instead of leaving it to "soak".
I cleaned my sheets
and folded my laundry
(the true bane of my existence)
and said good riddance to any lingering residue of you.
Slowly,
I am finding myself further and further away from the idea of "we".
I have forgotten your scent -
the one I once treasured and awaited each night.
Your small hairs stopped making surprise visits to my pillow.
I am sure they are here, as they will always be;
just more distant and less noticeable.
I am a million things but sure,
yet here I am,
no longer treading water - but staying afloat.
