these Things

[stretchingtoyou]

The storm subsides.
The air is warm and still,
sticking to my skin.
As I inhale the lingering scent of rain,
I think of these Things I hold;
these Things belonging to you which I gladly kept,
and now - don't know where to put.

I read recently of a girl who took all the Things she ever received from that Boy and set them ablaze. Not in malice, just so her slate would be clean and so that she could keep that Box for the One. I was thinking about joining her...

rcsq:
That's the kind of idea that I really like, and would need a whole lot of courage to actualize. There are some Things, however, that can't physically be burned, you know? - the Things one wants to let go of, and isn't quite sure how. - the Things held internally.
