I never thought I would be here
Here,
loading all your things into a box
bound for the attic
They're things I never would have kept
if I wasn't in love with you
-receipts, flower petals, index cards-
And things I never would have to put away
if I didn't love you still
-photographs, paintings, shiny rocks.
I think it is good to keep these things
to remind me that you existed
And still do exist.
to remind me that I loved you
And still do love you
even if things didn't turn out
the way you wanted them to
