im over you.
...
i don't know if i can say that yet.
but i can pretend
i will pretend.
for you.

i understand you
i miss you
i wish you didn't leave
but i hope youre in a better place
your soul is in a better body
your mind is in a better persons head
who could never hurt a precious girl like you

i hope
that even though it took 98 days
youll be over me
98 days
of being alone
but
98 days should be plenty
for you to leave me behind
im not that hard to get over
98 days.

it took 98 whole days
2,352 hours
141,120 minutes
and way too many moments
for it to stop hurting when i think of you
when my voice doesn't catch every time i say your name
when i can go back in your room and only cry a little

98 days
it will take 98 days more
or even longer
to fully be over you.

but i do not have that time
because it has already been 98 days.
so ill just say that "im over you."
written from an older me perspective to younger me.

also written in 15 minutes because i cant stand to reread this poem
