To Every Man I Have Ever Loved

I won't get over you any time soon,
don't ask me to.

It's not fair of you to expect that of me.

I am not a tree or even a cup of coffee; strong and confidant,
when it comes to you.

But don't be dismayed.
Progress is being made.

But I still miss our 3 am talks
and river-flowing adventures.

So I hope your new job is fulfilling
and your new girlfriend is willing
to touch your scars with safety.

And if i'm one of those wounds,
I pray she let you heal long enough
to forgive my rough heart
and the way it tore itself apart
loving you.
