Tonight

Tonight

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

Tonight

I go to bed early

Without the assistance of drugs or alcohol

Tonight

I sleep alone

And do so happily

Tonight

I don’t think about you

Tonight

I don’t think about your eyes

Windows

They lead to your soul

Your beautiful soul

That I was the mate to

For just a little while

Tonight

I don’t think about your skin

Soft and hot

Like a magnet

Tonight

I don’t think about your voice

Bedroom naughty

And pitch perfect

To grace my ears forever

Tonight

I don’t dream about you

And the life we could have had

Tonight

I embrace loneliness

Without the assistance of drugs or alcohol

Tonight

I accept my future

And what it holds for me

Without you

My soulmate

For just a little while

Tonight

I did not check my phone 27 times

Hoping for a call or text

That isn’t coming

Tonight

I let go
