Love is Just the Instinct of Sex - Schopenhauer
Ever been cheated on? Did your partner walk out on you with no explanation? Was there no mojo in your relationship so you opted to leave, but realized way too late that it was your own damn fault? I’d like to say a broken heart feels like the end of the world, but it really isn’t after you have a couple of them. I don’t care if she pooped gold, or the way he smiled sent those butterflies on a shooting spree in your stomach. I don’t even care if they found their identity in middle school, and transformed into a new bionic AI gender by thirty, leading a cutting edge global company that specializes in environmental activism, and combating the military industrial complex. Just tell me, what is YOUR best way to get over someone, and move on with your life. Cheers!

It's been quite some time.
Memories of us return
occasionally
and I wonder if you're well
or putting him too through hell.
Me? Remember, I moved on
two years before the divorce.
My body was yours,
but my heart, soul and my mind
have always been mine.
