I understand it takes time
To get past some things
It’s built into our lives
Things not being as important
As they once were- before
So, I tell myself lately
That you’re just practicing
To go through each day
With lessor and lessor
Of any thoughts about me
Whether or not it hurts
Whether or not if I care
Whether or not if it matters
I’ll have to get used to it too
This is why I feel smaller
Today- than I did yesterday
You must be getting better at
Forgetting all about… me
