tonight, do not think about his mouth, or
his laugh, or his scruffy beard. do
not think about wanting to fall asleep engulfed
in orange christmas lights, or the fact that you're
coming home to sheets that no longer smell like him.
tonight proves that you are so much better
than this heartache.
do not think of him
and do not romanticize him
because he is not thinking about you.
instead, think about the friends you saw tonight.
the inspiring and beautiful
future lawyers, the social entrepreneurs
the kindred souls and the undecideds who, regardless
of what path they take, will be making hard
and lasting marks here on this earth.
the friends who break bread while dreaming of their futures,
who share in after-dinner conversations
about highs and lows, about lost loved ones,
the friends who reach over the restaurant table for a hug
because they find strength in our sisterhood.
tonight, think of these friends and remember,
yes he is gone but
right here,
all around this dinner table,
you are surrounded by so much love.
