Unknow you
01:42
I'll start by unknowing you.
Unknow your familiar scent, that smell of you when I lean on your shoulder or kiss your cheek.
Unknow the sweet, sweet taste of your lips, and your touch, those warm fingers clasping mine.
Unknow the way you call me your baby, and you texting to tell me you miss me even though I we saw each other only a few hours ago.
Unknow that little tinkle in your warm, warm laugh.
Unknow how the corner of your eyes crinkle up and you show your slightly crooked but super cute teeth when you smile your beautiful smile.
Unknow your favorite things and places .How they make me smile knowing that you will be so happy if you were here.
Unknow all the places we went together, The jetty we went to on our very first few dates, the many secret hiding places only we know.
Unknow the way your hair falls in your face, and your frustration at almost every little thing that gets in your way.
Unknow your voice, that sound so familiar and dear to me I would recognize it anywhere.
Unknow those conversations we had in that corner of the cafe that we frequented, and the many inside jokes along the roads we walked a hundred times.
Unknow the plans we made for the future, about how often we'd travel every year, what names we'd call our kids and that that apartment you always had your eye on.
I will unknow you until you no longer bring tears in my eyes and an ache in my chest.
I'll unknow you until I forget to check in on your status every day, hoping that you had a great great one.
I'll unknow you till you are not the first thing on my mind when I wake and the last before I sleep.
I'll unknow you until I can no longer see you in my future, singing that song you said you would to me on our wedding day.
I'll unknow the one who used to be my everything.
And perhaps, only then, I will start to know who is it that I really am once again.
