healing.

my sunburn has almost healed. all that's left is a bright red patch on my chest. right over my heart. red and raw and peeling. 

so embarrassingly poetic.

yesterday i filled a box with all the leftover reminders. presents. things left behind. clothing with sentimental value. pictures. pearls. everything. 

i stuck it at the bottom of my closet. 

i think when my sunburn has healed completely. and my tan lines have faded. so there's no evidence it was ever there to begin with. then i'll take another look at my heart. reevaluate the situation. and decide whether to keep the box or toss it. 

i have a feeling she tossed her box long ago. 

(so embarrassingly symbolic.)
