how long does it take
for you to forget
that look i gave
that thing we said?
how long until
you won’t remember
that shared joke
or that book we read?
1 day or two?
a week or three instead?
would it even take a month or two
before you say “um, who?”
my curse is that
the moment you let go
i will know
i always do
and my one wish
is to be able to
in that same instant
release you
for some it’s easy
to move on with the new
and for others the courage
comes in letting them choose
