I don't really cry
about losing you
as much as I expected to

I get into a groove
about to sob
I think about everything you must be feeling about the situation
my brain weeps
I think and think and just think!
Then I stop

And I cry
about something more reasonable to cry about
And I think
some profound thing about tying mistakes up with a bow and giving a Ted Talk to help others learn from it
but still having scars from exactly those mistakes
And I cry
about that

But I sure don't cry
about this ending half as much as I expected to
