It doesn't mean
any less
to me.
It'll sit on my chest
for the rest of my life.
It was given not
out of love,
but as a
physical manifestation
of vulnerability
and an offering
of
abundant love.
What hurts is the absence of
closure.
I don't understand and it seems
I'll never know.
It still is a
treasure.
One that I can cherish,
reminiscent of
happier times.
But I don't love you anymore.
And I feel some relief in that.
