“you have not”
she looks at me surprised

“I have”
is my reply

“but you are just not the type of person
who writes poems”
she exclaims

myself

you urge me
to let go of my fears
to be myself and
live my dreams

I wonder
if you would still love me
if I really was myself
and not just your idea of myself

she looks at
the vivid sunset
and realises
that him leaving her
was a good outcome

back to normal

we have to go back
to normal
he says

do you mean
my normal or your normal
she asks

scarves

blue scarf
red scarf
yellow scarf
expressions of
joy and happiness
worn by me
dancing with you
