Puzzle.

I’ll take this piece of you.
Cherish it forever.
Hide it where no one will find.
Somewhere even I won’t find.
That piece made me joyful once upon a time.
But now it saddens me to have that piece.
As it is worthless without the entire puzzle.
I could pretend, pretend that the puzzle is still with me.
But, pretending only gets you so far.
The puzzle isn’t with me.   
It isn’t mine anymore.
It’s hers.
And it forever will be hers.
For, I am nothing.
Nothing but a fleeting owner of the puzzle.
The puzzle and she are bound for life.
And that’s the way it should be.
I’ll take this piece of you.
Cherish it forever.
Hide it where no one will find.
Somewhere even I won’t find.
