“I give myself five days to forget you. on the first day I rust. on the second I wilt. on the third day I sit with friends but I think about your tongue. I clean my room on the fourth day. I clean my body on the fourth day. I try to replace your scent on the fourth day. the fifth day, I adorn myself like the mouth of an inmate. A wedding singer dressed in borrowed gold. The midas of cheap metal. tinsel in the middle of summer. crevice glitter, two days after the party. I glow the way unwanted things do, a neon sign that reads; come, I still taste like someone else’s mouth.”

I realized that I was holding on to something that didn't exist anymore. That the person I missed didn't exist anymore. People change. The things we like and dislike change. And we can wish they couldn't all day long but that never works.

“Do yourself a favor and learn how to walk away. When a connection starts to fade, learn how to let it go. When a person starts to mistreat you, learn how to move on … to something and someone better. Don’t waste your energy trying to force something that isn’t meant to be.”
