Nov 2022
and i'm done
won't chase after you any longer
won't try to make a plan past tomorrow
will try to live in this moment

but
you see
it's hard for me
because this never feels secure
has always felt so tenuous

and part of me feels like you like it that way

so you can have it
i'll drop everything else
won't mention picket fences
won't think about next week
next summer
next year
the future

i'm done chasing the thoughts of a future with you
will only try to love the present
