The lack of days remaining
Scares me a little.
Because I'm sure you won't notice
How much I've aged this summer.
No, I'm not much older
No wrinkles line my face
But I am matured in a way
That can't be described
Without saying "older".

Maybe I've outgrown you
Secretly, I hope it's true
Because I don't doubt that you've changed,
But I have little remaining strength
That I refuse to waste
In futile attempts
To make you realize me.
And I can honestly say,
In my new-found maturity,
I
Don't
Need
You.
