2 years
2 jobs
one new flat
in the city
one nearly good relationship
many bad dates
new friends
new outlooks
new partners–
well
more for you…
more prudness
from me
2 new outlooks
on life
more time at the gym
5 less pounds
a smaller butt
a better appreciation
for life
family
the few true friends
more observation
more hesitation
more sure
of what we want
and what we don’t
but
far from certain…
so many things change
the same face
but less familiar
realities
I’d rather not know
you
me
might of beens
but time has
cleared the lingering thought
and here i stand
in your unfamiliar bathroom
reaching for your pomade
as if i had used it yesterday
the very same jar
from days together
and i have to laugh
the only thing
that hasn’t changed
since it ended
