Unforgiven Valentine

Writing to you is my way
of facing death which
otherwise would have to
climb in through the window
like some unscheduled
chance encounter thirty-
eight light years later
just doing its regular thing
though I still do think of you
though I’ve forgotten your name
your last name I mean though not
the nameless nights and whole
days we successfully resisted
our relentless attraction
to one another which
I still cannot forgive
