Missing You Is Memory

The thing is, I can’t say I’m over him. But at the same time, I can speak of him without feeling much of anything.

Something will happen; his favourite song will play on the radio, you’ll walk by the coffee shop you went to on your first date, you’ll find an old picture of him hidden in the back of your closet. It doesn’t matter what but it will happen and you’ll start to wonder about him. But please, don’t fall for that. Do not fall into the trap of the what-if’s and I-wonder’s, do not fall for the memories. Because that’s what you miss, the memories, not him. He wasn’t good for you then and he wouldn’t be now. You are stronger because you left him. Don’t risk losing that over the memory of a man who no longer exists.— Make new memories instead.

Lost in darkness

who are you?

Memories of you

aren't real, just

fantasies I've

never drank again.

Numbers gone

into rainbow colored

clouds...missing

you is a forgotten

canvas I won't paint.

Dipping my hands

in soft soiled dirt,

I wipe away your

memory in the

midday sunlight.

Coherence your words

in a joker's box,

forget you through

black and white

screens.

Missing you is a

memory I don't wish

to return...

no matter the waves

of pain that make

a home.

I was weak missing

you as throwing arrows

at dart boards for answers

you've never given.

Wasting time on hourglasses

that was hopeless nonsense

wavering in the moonlights

gaze.

Your memory I'm no longer

missing... so don't come back.

I love the memory... not the person before me.

So leave me to gaze at the moon in wonder

because I know you'll won't return.

I blow you to the wind of thousand sins

and cut my losses and my wins

before I tell you missing you is memory.

I burn it to ashes in a cold-heartless

wind. I say goodbye as I blow

a last bubble gum kiss to your

memory...

I no longer miss. Goodbye my distant memory

that I don't feel makes a tick in this old clock.
