I’ll stuff the sadness in my pockets, 

like a kid would their candy

and carry it with me while I’m out having fun. 

Not because I secretly wish to mourn us, 

when I should be making new memories

but because it’s weirdly comforting. 

I met you knowing you were temporary,

and the melancholy in that should be bitter

but knowing you at all is what makes it be sweet.
