The last thing
we ever did together
was ruin what we had.

And I do admit
I still think of you
but not in many good ways

though the rooftop sex
with the city skyline in the back
was damn-near amazing.

Sometimes thinking passionate moments
I drift to times
so much more complicated than these
and somehow wish I could
fix them, but the end was inevitable.

We both sabotaged things
in our own ways
and I don't care to know
where you are
or who you are with
just like I don't care
about anyone or anything new
that comes into my life.

I've become detached.

At least I know
I gave it my all
when it counted.

No regrets in love.

I just know
the innocence I once
wore on my sleeve
is forever ago
thrown in the trash
with the last things
we did together.
