You don't have to go back
I wouldn't want you to
I know, deep down you aren't that person anymore
And who you are now is what you were always meant to be
But I will never forget the day I found you
Ha..
As though something so great could possibly be undiscovered.
No, you were known
And I was simply to blind
Too ignorant to your existence
But my eyes were opened
To see the stars blazing in yours
as you achieved something
something that at the time you believed to be greatness
I don't know what you think about that day now
I don't even know you
But I know everything is changing.
What we can do now is far different
from what we could do back then
But I will always look fondly on the day
that you achieved
18:10
You always stuck pictures to your fridge
A reminder of the people who matter most
Scattered amongst magnets and things that dont stand out nearly as much
Today was no different
The faces changed the your practices remained the same
I found myself asking the same question I used to years ago
"How can I be good enough to be up there on that fridge too.."
Only to realize that you never bothered to even take my picture.
Always a stop along the way, but never a passenger.
I spoke to her  for the first time in a long time
It seems things arent well for us both
She was so cold I nearly froze
But I was eager
I leaped into the replies
Shamelessly reaching for something familiar to hold onto
Hoping my warmth would melt the ice
Offering friendship
Its been a few days since her last reply now.
And I find myself talking to the walls again
Hoping one of the voices that reverberate might just sound like you...
I plant wildflowers in the empty spaces
The places you left behind
Knowing that you'll never return
But hoping that when I'm old
The heather will help me remember
What was once there
And the love that always will be.
I carry you with me like a bouquet of regret
Bittersweet love that I'll never forget.
My love for you is parasocial
But I swear we knew each other once before
Its always a little(very) one sided in the end, isn't it?
most of my steps forward
feel like steps back

fate won't let you cast away your burdens until you bathe in them fully
SomebodyProbably Dec 2024
She gave me her keys and I drove her insane
Its no wonder she took the car and changed her name
Now I'm taking busses and hailing cabs with no destination in mind
Wishing I could just go home to you.
Man I do not enjoy being alive right now
