Pieces of Me

"Leaving"

It shouldn't bother me
that you're leaving.
It shouldn't hurt,
yet it does.
You were never mine-
not really.
There were stolen moments,
delicious and wonderful,
that I should, but can't
regret.
Those were mine-
ours-
real-
to me anyway.
As far as being mine, though
as far as you leaving goes,
it doesn't affect me.
Still it does,
and I feel
a little lost.
