How Do I Unlove

and you still keep me on my toes, I'm breathless, can't catch the slightest breath strangling in silence awaiting to hear your voice, anything, but it comes down to reality, and your here no more, you've chosen to move on while I'm locked on rewind, forgiving silly memories, forgiving anything to keep me busy because at night it bites, creeps up along the bedside, like photographs- melting in the fire- the one we caused from fighting, the fights we stripped each other's pride- and we'd be right back at the rebound, once the swearing was finished and the love diminished and we'd forget it, without regretting it and leave it on a strong note, believing it's what we needed, and now, it's gone.
