Soon Enough

You will just be a distant memory.
Your face so vivid now in my mind, will just be a faint shimmer.

Your smile will just be another smile.
Like a stranger's, it will no longer make me catch my breath.

I will no longer think about you.
The things that remind me of you will lose their significance.

I will not look for you in crowded places.
If we meet by chance, my heartbeat will not quicken.
I will nod at you, smile if I feel like it, then move on.

It will be like we never happened.
It will be like we never did meet.

I will live my life, and you will live yours.
Separate, parallel, different.

Yes, I am sure of it.
Soon enough, all these will be true.
