You cannot leave

And have me too

I cannot live in

Two places at once

Privacy:

I understand why

People keep their lives private

They learned from putting too much out there

Too many photos of former lovers

Too many cheesy lines

Quotes from hard times

Too many things for future employers to find

Because we’ve learned what is posted online never dies

That is why, you’ve never seen the pictures of my current love figures

Or that my status is in a relationship or single

I was an open box but now I am closed up

Maybe that’s the way it was supposed to be

In order to be happy

“I suppose there may be a hundred different ways of being in love.”

How do we forget?

Most do not.

It becomes part of us.

There are flashbacks and reminders.

To a time we thought was finer.

Glorifying the past and forgeting the present for a moment.

Take a deep breath and remind ourselves that we cannot control it.

How?

I cannot give you an answer.

We live with it until it does not hurt anymore or we drown ourselves in it until we die.
