Day 24: Foolish

Why must everything lead back to you?
My mother thinks I'm foolish because I'm still stuck on you
but today would have been our five year anniversary
and I've decided that today will be the day that I finally
let
you
go.
Because even though I can't go into my kitchen
without thinking of the times we've cooked together,
you teasing me about my apron
and the flour fights we would have,
Even though I can't get into my car
without thinking of the first time you kissed me
with the snow falling against the windows
and our breath fogging up the glass,
Even though I can't picture my future
without seeing you in the frame,
Even though I can't imagine
resting my head on any other chest,
our hearts beating in perfect rhythm,
Even though there's another girl and she's so much
better than me in every way
I still can't
let
you
go.
