because pretending is good for the heart sometimes

I pull his t-shirt out of my dirty laundry basket and put it on. I slept in it that first week after things changed so it needs a good wash. But I don't care. I'm off to take a nap and I want to pretend that today is actually 3 weeks ago and he's going to call me in a couple hours to plan dinner and tell me he can't wait to see me.

I climb into bed and snuggle his sweater that I've had since the concert in my arms, and pretend it still smells like him.

Before my eyelids droop I tell myself that if this was all over I wouldn't still have these things.

My heart rests for a minute with that hope and I finally drift off.
