With you, I saw things like
Oversized tee shirts and an apartment together
And your roommate telling us we were too loud in bed
I saw things like adventures and sunsets and reckless kisses in your backseat
I saw things like flowers on my front porch
And my messy hair when we had sex
Now, without you, I see things like curling up on my best friend’s lap
I see things like reading naked on the floor for hours
I see things like tea and farmers markets and flowers I bought for myself
I see things like kissing boys I don’t know
And taking nude photos of myself and then deleting them.
I see things like learning how to cook and buying a kitten and taking online courses
Without you, I see self care and self healing.
Without you, I see friendship’s power and a woman’s motivation and a family’s love.
Without you, I remember all the things I forgot
When I forgot to think about anything
But you.
