Fading Memory 渐远回忆

Morning knows your teeth marks
On the rim of my coffee cup
I don't drink coffee anymore
But the cup stays out
You left your jacket that third winter
The one with the torn sleeve
I keep meaning to throw it
Instead I wore it through a thunderstorm last Tuesday
Didn't even get wet
Here's what I learned to lose:
Your laugh not gone, just hiding behind every bad joke I tell myself
Your hand still warm in the hollow of my neck at 3 AM
Your silence heavier than any goodbye you ever said
I am not sad
I am just arranged around your absence
Like furniture pushed aside to make room for a wall
That was always there
People ask me if I'm okay
I say "same as always"
Which means:
I still check my phone for your name
I still cook too much food
I still turn my head at the sound of your walk
Which I invented in my head
Because you never walked the way I remembered
Some things I didn't bury:
The scar on your knuckle
The way you said "stupid"like it meant "kiss me"
The fact that you once cried during a car commercial
And I pretended not to notice
And you knew I was pretending
And that was the closest we ever got to honest
Now the apartment smells like nothing
Not even you
Not even me
Just the air conditioning
Deciding for itself
I think I'm supposed to write a finale here
A big line about letting go
But the truth is smaller
I don't miss you anymore
I just forgot to stop
