341 days
It's hard to believe
It hasn't even been a year
But the distance grows
Do you still think about me
After the emails
And phone calls
And instant messages
Have ended?
I try to forget
And I try to forgive
You had your reasons
But it stings
Like the aggravating cut on my lip
You kissed me on those same lips
Do you remember?
Or have you moved on?
You told me about a new girlfriend
And by now there might be another
What does it feel like
To be able to move on?
I wish I knew
But I don't so far
What's it like
To dump someone
When you know so clearly
How it feels to be abandoned?
You probably would think I was crazy
If you ever read this poem
341 days
And I'm thinking about you
It's pitiful
But I haven't replaced you
I've set my sights
On others besides you
But they don't know me
They don't know my love
My sideline romances
Fizzle after months of obsession
You'd like some of them
You'd like my friends, too
I'm still collecting cows
After the show we were in
Do you remember that?
It was your moment of glory
I'm sure you do
I try to close my eyes
And I try not to think
But you don't seem to go away
Even as the distance widens
Miles, silence, minutes
Increasing, lengthening
I still miss you
When I happen to think of you
Even when it's been
341 days
