190 : tired

10 0 0
                                    

and then one day
i stop actively chasing you
though i ached for your presence
i could take solace in your absence
though i searched for your smirk
my smile became sufficient
though i desired your touch
my bed became warm on my own
and then one day
i accepted parts of you, not your whole

though this pain lingers
it is manageable
and i will no longer
bind myself to you










goodbye
