NUMB

I forgot what pain felt like
I forgot how painful it was to get paper cuts
When we get squeezed in between the elevator
Those bruises after hours of ice skating
Blisters from rocking new pumps the whole day
Trapped fingers when we closed the car doors
Stubbing that tiny toe into a wall
When our uterus contracts
Body aches after a week of camping
Sprained ankles
Accidentally cut flesh during manicure
Running into a signboard and get bumped foreheads
Scratching acne with long nails
Migraines from too much coffee
Swollen gums after getting our wisdom tooth pulled out
Accidentally biting your tongue chewing bubblegums
Skinned knees from skateboarding
And all the pains in life that you can imagine
I instantly forgot how they all felt like
After receiving that mail
Of your wedding tape and a bunch of pink carnations.
