Gone
by Anastasia Cojocaru

I washed you off my skin

this morning

I wanted your every touch to be

Gone.

I could still feel

your lips on my neck

your hand on my thigh

your nails still piercing my skin

your weight on my body

and your hand

going through my hair

pulling it hard towards you.

I want them

Gone.

I’m looking at

the swirl in the washing machine

and I see my T-shirt

impregnated with your smell.

Soon it will all be

Gone.

This is part of the Livinteresting project. Curious? Livinteresting is a personal blog created by two old high-school friends who met seven years ago and could not stop being friends ever since. Their common project brings together a love of creative writing, philosophy and science that defies the physical boundaries that separate them, since one of them studies English and International Relations in Scotland and the other one stayed in Romania in order to finish studying Law. Anastasia and Irina are in a lifelong search for meaning and beauty, wishing to become treasurers of wisdom and sharing their interests with the world.
