Simultaneously Out of Love
Things I wish I rid of
Your scent, your smile
Your laugh, your eyes
The way they light up
The way they’d bring warmth
Your impulsive behavior
Like walking with me,
Giving me your sweater,
And how you sang excitedly
Always waiting by the door
Grinning when I’d spot you
How you listened to my sorrow
And I listened to yours
How the night sky looked,
When we talked on the phone
The stars shined bright, I swear
Every time you laughed
How my heart raced before,
And how it still races now
But I can’t get rid of you,
Of the memories between us
We’ve fallen out of love,
But fallen in love with others
Yet it clearly isn’t enough,
I’ve fallen too in love with you
Everyone else isn’t enough
He’s not you, she’s not me
