<p>That drawer.</p><p>My drawer.</p><p>The drawer I never cleaned out,</p><p>Full of of receipts,old tickets, letters, cards,and your name written in margins of books I don't read anymore.</p><p><br/></p><p>People say,</p><p>"Just throw it away. It's clutter. It's useless now. It's dust."</p><p>But they don't understand.</p><p>They don't know </p><p>That dust is made of moments.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some attachments don't leave easily.</p><p>Not because we're weak,</p><p>But because letting go feels like erasing the only proof we had.</p><p>That is was all real.</p><p><br/></p><p>The hoodie that still smells like you.</p><p>The song I skip,then replay,</p><p>The cards you send with gifts,</p><p>The letters when you are away and far,</p><p>The version of me that laughed louder when you were in the room.</p><p><br/></p><p>I have tried to pack them in boxes,put them away,</p><p>Forget them in the blink of an eye,</p><p>Label them 'PAST' and push them to the back.</p><p>But at 2am they crawl out,</p><p>Coming towards me again,</p><p>Coming back,</p><p>Coming close,</p><p>Sits on the edge of my bed,</p><p>And asks if "I'm okay without them?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Letting go isn't forgetting.</p><p>It's learning to carry the memory without carrying weight.</p><p><br/></p><p>Finally decided tho.......</p><p>So I'm not throwing the drawer away,</p><p>I'm moving it.</p><p>From my chest,</p><p>To a shelf.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm not done.</p><p>I'm not going absent for good,</p><p>I can still visit.</p><p>I just don't have to live there anymore.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some attachments don't leave easily.</p><p>But maybe.......</p><p>I'm learning to.</p>
