I have gotten over you
like a thousand times over the years
I have forgotten about you
about the same number of times, I have convinced myself otherwise
I have not spoken about you
Yet here I am trying to convince myself not to
But I went back and reread the letters
I went back and touched my scars
The unfamiliar bump it left on me
were bigger and longer than I thought it was
I went back to the paragraphs
The same words that I wrote
were unfamiliar on my tongue
The same words that I wrote
were simply words that were meant to be read
not understood
But I had to explain how the letters were formed
I had to explain how the tragedy unraveled
And the unfamiliar words shook me
I am over you
but the emotions resurfaced
and I am stormed
by the familiar ache
