How to move on

-Say goodbye. Squeeze his hand. Make love. Kiss his face.
-Cry, hug, drive away, blind with sadness.
-Shower, wash his smell, his mouth, his hands, away.
-Make mental notes. Erase them.
-Tell the story, over and over. Hear yourself sound nonchalant.
-Feel like a fraud. Feel like you’re in a hundred pieces.
-Miss him.
-Sleep with someone else. Don’t stay the night. Feel hollow, like you could float away.
-Hide everything. The pretty boxes gifts came in. Little notes he left. Throw away photo albums, concert tickets, movie stubs, wine corks.
-Cry. Drink.
-Make hot tea, take a walk. Buy a camera, take pictures of trees, your feet.
-Cry. Paint your bedroom. Pet the dog. Take a nap, wear a summer dress. Take a date, eat sushi, talk about your brothers and sisters. Read a book, sleep in, window shop, buy new shoes. Make a scrapbook, make spaghetti.
-Feel better. Feel something. Feel okay.
