We tried to make something
Out of completely nothing.
You told me to take your hand
And believe
That you would guide me
Through all of life's perils.
Your hands
So warm and cozy
Tricked me.
You pushed me into water
Headfirst
Without even wondering if I could breathe.
You laughed as I drowned
Sputtering and coughing.
You didn't help me
As I screamed out your name.
You just left
And gave someone else
Your warm, cozy hand.
You needed another girl to push into the water
Because apparently,
You and me were through.
But then after you left
I realized the water was only a foot deep.
I stood up on my own
With no help at all.
Eventually
Someone came and helped me,
Comforted me through everything
I had been through.
Coaxed me to forget you
Forget your face,
Forget your smile,
Forget your laugh.
Now,
Because of him,
I no longer remember the memories of you and me.
The memories
Are just memories.
No more.
I remember the day you left
The day I found life again
The day I was reborn.
Usually
It was that I couldn't go a day
Without thinking of you.
Now,
You've been replaced.
That person
Who saved me when I needed it most
When I was abandoned
By a person
Who said they would never leave me
Is always running through my head.
Now,
It's not your face
That runs through my mind.
It's his.
It's not your smile
That runs through my ming.
It's his.
And even though I still think of you sometimes
When I am all alone
I remember that you are gone forever
And just like that
I'm over you.
You thought that I would never get over you...
I did.
