The Break Up Box

I have been packing and cleaning all day.
I finally come to my room,
and EVERYTHING is packed,
except for one drawer.
I haven't opened it in almost 4 months.

I approach it with caution,
slide it open,
and immidiatly i can smell your scent.
i pull out the drawer,
lay it in my lap,
and begin my quest.

At first i thought it was going to be bad.
For reals.
The first thing I saw was a small note,
written on a "Scribble Pad For Little Episcopalians" reading:

"Been tryin' to get a hold of you all morning.
Finally stopped by but you were not here.
I love you and I miss you. Call me later.
:P

-B"

As I skim the first line,
Anna Nalick starts to sing "Forever Love".
I flip the page over,
as if there's more,
and smile to myself.

I am so appreciative that someone could teach me how to love, like that.
For a long time I was so scared that Love wasn't an emotion I could feel.
