shipped back

we broke up last night
and I dialed your number by mistake today
somehow I memorized it as the only number id need to dial
so my fingers slipped
I gave you back all the gifts you so nicely gave me
because sometimes you recall them when you don’t get your way
so I shipped it all back and sail lighter today.
you said you’d get therapy
and for the first time I think that’s a great thing to do
since clouds of your past overshadowed our present
and I’m losing sight of you
maybe this Fall will lead to the rise of us (in winter, or spring?)
but I don’t know, neither do you
time has a way of sweeping us to pastures new.
