I threw out all your letters after I met him
but I threw out all of his letters
even before I had others to replace them
I threw out a napkin
scrawled with "I love you madly, Cari"
even before the sentiment was no longer true
I relinquished ownership of a favorite CD
and walked out on all of my remaining belongings
I deleted text messages
and gave away gifts
to set myself free
to forget
So now I don't have
a box with his name on it
or his
or even yours
And it feels so good
