Firstly,
This is the ending of an era,
nine months stretched into an eternity now slipping like sand through my open hands.
And in moments of weakness and fits of self pity,
I can feel myself welcoming that day of finality,
to finally be free of the guilt that has hollowed me.
Secondly,
You have this way of quieting the mess in my head.
I don't feel the usual creeping emptiness along my skin when I'm with you,
the muted but pressing wish to dissolve into the sheets.
And I want this with a certainty I almost never experience.
I'm alive and breathing and I have people to love.
I feel like this should be enough for me.
