Over You

I may still think of you,

Crave you,

Hold you in from breath to breath,

Ponder the meaning to your existence,

While holding onto what I can 

Of your memory;


But I will never drain my own being,

For you.

I will no longer hold you up on a pedestal;

You will no longer hear from me,

For I must get over you;


And the only way to do so,

Is to hold onto you,

Breathe in each thought of you,

Allow you to play in my mind,

And put it on repeat.


I need to take in what I have;

Even if I can no longer,

Touch,

Feel,

Or smell you.

I will let my thoughts linger,

And remember you.


When that is done and over,

I may be able to walk away,

And ignore your presence,

In my unconscious subconscious.


Then, and only then,

May I be over you
