Yes, I do still care about you.
Yes, part of me still loves you.
Then again how could I not?
I'm too invested in you to not.
You were the essence of my existence.
The reason for me to breathe.
I can't just wake up one morning,
Think how much I regret it all,
And take it all back,
Pretend like it never happened,
Or forget you completely.
You are, in a way, part of me.
Part of me that I can't lose.
No matter how much I want to.
No matter how painful it is.
I really care about you.
I love you, even now.
Then again,
*How could I not?

silken voice
sliding through
vulnerable gaps
into various hearts
you sing me to sleep
with your breaths
a sweet lullaby
in uneven
tunes

It's three in the morning,
And I am so tired.
But the thought of having to wake up
Is keeping me from falling asleep.
