I need that about you
and you alone.
I need to forget
how you look like
and how you made me feel.
I need to forget
your disguise
or what seems platonic
to you.
I don't need to be reminded of your so-called concern
and belief in me.
I don't need to be reminded of how you discredit me,
quietly but painfully.
I need to stand up again
on my own.
I need to remember that
I am always whole
without you.
I don't need amnesia for that.
