I Don't Want To Forget You

I broke up with my boyfriend a few days ago. Written as very short Spoken Word though I never intend of preforming it.

I will never regret you. 

But I don't miss you.

I will never take back a single thought that came from my head. 

But how am I supposed to remember you?
I'm scared I'll forget.

And how can you forget a year?

You had no distinctive cologne.

No hoodies or sweatshirts left for me.

Nothing. 

I can't remember how you smell or feel.

At one point I might not remember at all.

You will be just, "That one guy you dated."

I want to know how you're feeling.

I want to know if you miss me.
I want to compare how I feel to how you do.

I'm the one that hurt you.

I was the instigator.

But I still want to know your thoughts.

But I know it's my place to not ask you.

Nor your friends.

So I sit in silence and I wonder.

A bit prosaic and conventional for my appetite, but I suppose not all poets try to drift out of the barycentre of banality.. Despite that, I found myself strangely ensnared in your sorrowful words. If this is your favored adopted style, stick to it, I'm sure it'll entice some.

I understand the poem. To lose someone without any proof of love leave leave us trying to understand the loss. I like the description and the questions in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
