She held it closer
Took a whiff in a breath
Of the yesterday
That had deserted her

Only in the morrow
Would she allow
The memories to fade
But always it remains

How can you remove
Something etched
A love that consumes
And lingers in your heart

When everything
You see
You feel
is a reminder of him

Do you pack your life
In boxes and bags
Then burn every single thing
That he has touched

Do you wash your body
Of all the kisses
Or do you ask
Someone else to do it?

Or do you dwell
In what is lacking
Drown in regret
And live in fear?

I can't
I shouldn't
I won't
I'll move on.
