Well hello old memories

How have you been?

I saw you wave at me from the bus stop while I was walking home

I didn't mean to be rude

I just didn't want to glance your way too long

You understand

You tend to have such a tempting glow about you when I look in your eyes too long

I simply had to keep walking

Yes, I know it's been a long time

Yes, I think of you now and then

Yes

Yes, I miss you too

But I'm sorry, I have to be going

You understand

Oh, haven't you heard?

I don't need you anymore

Isn't that great?

It's nothing personal, I assure you

It's just that, well,

I'm sane again

I don't really need you to make me feel better anymore

We had some good times

Yes, I remember

But don't you see?

You hurt me more than you helped me

Look

Look here, near my elbow

And here, near my wrists

And here, across my hip

Or here, across my neck

You see?

Those are scars

Yes

It felt good then

But it hurts now

And I've finally moved on

Don't worry, you will too someday

After all

You are just a razor blade that someone must have dropped on the street

I'm sure someone will find you

And go back to using you

I know a year ago

...I would have too

But not anymore, ok?

Goodbye

And hey

Thanks for understanding
