A weight loss journey

Poetry

A weight loss journey

I've stopped writing about the distance between us
I call it a daily target of 12000 steps

I have stopped writing about our dinner dates
I call it intermittent fasting

I have stopped writing about our separation
I call it the hunger caused by boredom

I have stopped writing about yearning for you
I call it a higher metabolism causing acidity

I have stopped writing about slow love
I call it procrastination for the days I don't workout

I have stopped writing about grief
I call it high-intensity interval training

I have stopped writing about the intervals of grieving silence
I call it the recovery period

I have stopped writing about our favorite song
I call it an alarm turning into a despicable tune

I have stopped writing about moving on
I call it a weight-loss journey
