On days when your coffee leaves you sulking, staring wistfully into space,
When you reminisce on what you left behind
Don’t forget the days that left you feeling exhilarated
Like the way rain patters on the glass window and slides down to the pavement,
Sitting by the fireside on a cold winter evening, curling up into your favorite sweater,
Or the summer evenings watching the pink and orange tones as the sun sets over the horizon
Recollect all your treasured feelings that sit lopsided within.
Of all things that leave you ambivalent

a cigarette helps to numb the pain,
i just hope it doesn’t become a habit.
like you were to me.
