Postscript from Momentum by Jenni Rudolph

Tell me
How do I look from the other side?
Now that the honeymoon phase has died
My presence no longer romanticized

Sometimes do you contemplate
How we let laugh lines turn to tear stains
Do you ever miss me?
Cuz I have my days

Tell me
Am I still the genius you claimed I was
In retrospect, are you ashamed of us
Do all of our memories fill you with disgust

Some days I get to reminiscing
We walked through our heaven and left it a prison
Do you ever miss me?
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t

Our perceptions can be tinted
By what we think is love
And only being committed
Will never be enough
We tried to go the distance
But could only make it so far
Cuz swimming in wishful thinking
Can’t wash away who you are

“What if this or that” keeps my mind awake
All our flashbacks leave an aftertaste
Did you really love me
Or did our time go to waste?
