Though today started

Like any other day

Something was different

A friend asked about you

And for a split second

Your name didn't mean

Anything to me

And then I remembered

Who you are

Who you were

Who you will

Never be

Again to me

I will forget you

Your hold on me

Is not as strong

As you think

I'm already laughing

About other things

Have plans

With other people

You are no longer

Part of me

I will forget you

You might have

Been a first

Of many

But you aren't

The last

Of all

In the book of yesterday

Your pages

Get dusty

Abandoned

Discarded

Forgotten

The thread of you

To me

Has been cut

Severed forever

I have drifted away

You no longer

Have any force-field

Over me

I'm not yours

Never again

Will I be yours

I am mine

Someday

I will be

Someone else's

You and I

No longer

Two halves

Of a whole

I will forget you

And be happier

For it
