New Routine

My work days will no doubt be different Than many of the days I've had before The first thing that I will take notice of Is there's no 'Good Morning' greeting anymore Moving forward is bound to be baby steps And for me, it will be a hard week Especially if you, on your own accord Decide to avoid me and rather not speak Seven long, distressing days have passed Since I tearfully read you my letter It seemed like you hid your emotion As we sat on that park bench together I was at the point where I just wanted it over And to be done with that painful endeavour I left not knowing how it affected you Other than having no remorse for my displeasure When I thought about you on your long drive back I wondered if, when you stopped to take a rest You paused long enough to re-read those words Or even thought about all that I had said So today's agenda was quite an adjustment In trying something different with my time Instead of our chats during lunch hour I ended up writing myself this little rhyme I've resisted the urge to reach out to you It's taking all of my willpower to comply But if this is how you want things to end with us Then sadly, you've chosen to not say goodbye @katladyt_ August 10, 2020
