Button

I need to fix a button

It's been hanging there for long

I can either sew it on

Or pull it out forever

I can live unbuttoned

There is nothing to hide

But this button of my memories

Has a good and a bad side

I don't wish to lose any

However bad it might be

It's me hanging on to this button

Not the button hanging on to me

Maybe I will let it be

Till the last thread gives way

And then I will just let it go

Losing it like needle in hay.
