Occasionally

Everything is occasional for me, at least now it is,
there was a time when things were constantly done,
The partying, the drinking, the smoke, the late nights, the kisses, the hugs, the love,
At some point, everything becomes occasional,
You don't go out with friends as much as you used to,
Parties are for New years, Christmases and birthdays,
You stopped smoking a long time ago,
So did the kisses, the embraces,
It all ended slowly, like how cancer takes refuge in your body,
Until it kills you slowly.

Occasionally is my favorite word now,
It means balance, limits, control,
It is a word I learned from you,
The times we met, the talks we had, the hugs, the kisses, the love,
Occasionally is a word I've come to accept,
It is me,
It defines me,
To you I am Occasionally.
