There were so many lists for this Read Write Poem prompt that I never even finished the list for what I don't believe in! More than half counts though...right? To get the full details on the prompt and to get in on some of the awesome list action go here. My belief: You never completely get over someone.
I have the proof
It’s in the way my heart stops
And struggles to start again
When he enters the room
It’s in the lump that grows
In my throat mid-conversation
And keeps me from forming
Complex words
Words like I and You and Us
It’s in the way my mind races
Back to thoughts of him
At its own will
I’m forced to remember
Every part of his body I’ve had
The good fortune of touching
(The misfortune of touching)
It’s in the chills I get
When his name comes up
And if all of that isn’t enough
It’s in the love
