I lose people, it's what I do.
While my friends lose car keys or pairs of socks.
I'm stuck losing people.
Tripping over shoe laces and old belongings.
Longing to look back and see familiar smiling faces,
instead I'm left with my own star dust, which rusts in the rain.

Inspired by my realization that my two most recent exes have deleted me off of facebook and Elizabeth Bishop's One Art.
