A Poem by Nathan Mann
"

Hello, this is very personal.

"
A thousand or so days doesn't seem like too much time,
not when I spend every moment with you on my mind,
and almost as much with you by my side.
A thousand or so days of you infecting every aspect of my life,
as gently as you do.
A thousand or so days in vein of what?
us?
or my own hopeless ambition,
my uphill battle with depression.
A thousand or so days I wouldn't trade to have you back,
you left and took me back, 
showed me everything I already knew I lacked, but
A thousand or so days for this small step towards growth,
and these leaps away from you,
from these things you do,
leaving everything,
used.
A thousand or so days, and we've gone our separate ways,
without a goodbye,
without an apology.
A thousand or so days and I'm sorry,
I know you are too,
I could never blame you,
this is just what you do.
A thousand or so days to say,
Goodbye
to a thousand or so days of you.
