Learning to Unlove You - Anthony Strong

You will take a little time

But now I’ve got forever that’s OK

To take you off the books

Untangle all the hooks

I’m looking forward to it in a way

Getting to forget you will be like tearing down

The palace of your image in my mind

Take one last look around

And burn it to the ground

Unloving you will take a little time

To treat you like a fever, like my known enemy

To be a nonbeliever in my own memory

I come down every morning no more than half awake

A headful of ideas in my mind

A belly full of lead

And strangers in my bed

Unloving you will take a little time, oh really / my darling

Unloving you will take a little time.
