what i wouldn't do
to have your head on my chest

to feel your heart beat
to feel your breathing slow down

until you succumb to slumber
hoping that it's me you find

in your dreams

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

your silence hurts so bad
that i actually start to feel
physically sick

my thoughts feel completely
chaotic and obsessive
often about you

it drains me to act like
everything is fine
but emotionally i feel so tired of it all

i start to put my phone on silent
because i know i can't handle the pain
of waiting for your text

everything else feels numb to me
because all i ever think about
is you

it gets pretty lonely
so lonely that it hurts
and i don't know if i'll get over this feeling

i long for the day
when you tell me it was a mistake
and you want me back

but today is not the day

some days you act like you want me
you would check up on me
text me
start conversations with me
call me

but some days you act like i'm nothing

i don't hate you
but i hate how you broke our pinky promise
i don't hate you
but i hate that i trusted you with all my heart
i don't hate you
but i hate how you treated me like i was nothing
i don't hate you
but i hate the fact that you betrayed me
i don't hate you
but i hate the fact that you turned into everything you said you'd never be
i don't hate you
but i hated how you left me
i don't hate you
but i hate that you cheated on me
i don't hate you
but i hate how you hurt me
i don't hate you
but i hate how i still love you
i don't hate you
but i hate the fact that i'd still go running back to you if u ask me to

i need you so badly tonight
of all nights
tonight is the worst
that I have felt in awhile

countless times i would
open up our conversations
hoping you would be online
just so I can say "hey"

but tonight is not the night
you weren't online tonight
i'm fighting the urge to
text you or call you

but i made a promise
to you, to myself that
i would try to not talk to you
even if i need you badly tonight

goodnight

the distance between us grow further
the words we speak grow shorter
our conversations, once a flowing river
now it's barely a trickle

i remember when we'd talk for hours
now silence fills the spaces
texts from you make my heart soar
but it's quiet now, like a door without a door

i wonder about your day, thoughts, dreams
but asking feels like a shout
are you drifting away ? or am i ?
our connection once so strong, now is weak

i miss you so much, your laugh, your smile
the way you'd talk about things you love
now, each word feels measured
as if our time together is faltering

yet hope lingers in my heart, stubborn
that we might find our way back
for love, tested by time and distance
can bridge any gap, if we give it a chance

so i'll hold onto our memories
hoping this silence is a phase
for even in this quiet, lonely space
my heart still beats for you

as i have said a million times
i will say it a million times again
i love you wholeheartedly
you're my soulmate
