the little things that we had
become the most poignant reminders
your favourite songs
pictures of us
the places that we have been
places we made lovely memories
stumbling upon inside jokes
jokes that i can never share
with you anymore
the scent of your perfume
the things you've given me
most of all
i catch myself reaching for my phone
to text you about something funny
or interesting, hoping you'd laugh to it
only to remember
you won't be replying to it
as quick as you did
