When you've loved someone for a while
it's a good idea to practice up on being alone.

Step 1: Go away for awhile. Don't say where you've been.
Come back without apology and reclaim your chair.

Step 2: Keep saying "I love you" until the words abandon meaning
the way a girl abandons virginity -
because she suspects it isn't worth it.

Step 3: Tell me the exact moment you stopped loving me.
Call it on a stopwatch - to the hundredth second.
Write it on the toe tag of my soul.
