THIS HURTS.
1.27.12

one day, you will completely forget about me.
you will forget my toothbrush next to yours.
forget the sound of my voice when i’m tired,
forget my laugh. you’ll forget what i smell like
after a shower, after a long day, after sex.
you will forget my teeth knocking against your
teeth when we’re horny but so drunk; clumsy
hands and awkward bodies. you will forget my
fingernails hard on your back as we fuck - my
fingertips on your back as you sleep. tiny circles.
in time you will stumble upon the pieces of 
myself that i left behind, and you will not recognize
them; assuming they were left by other girls.
and you will sleep next to those girls in your 
big bed in your little room. you’ll turn the lights out
but leave the television on and you will turn
away from them, eventually, and snore lightly.
you won’t hog the blankets. you won’t kick…
you will take them on dates to the city, see shows.
you will pay for meals and cab rides and drinks.
and they will tell you how sweet you are and you’ll
smile but you won’t believe them, deep down, and
i know all of this because i love you so much.
