The only thing I've found to be truly harder than loving someone

Is learning to let go enough to love again.

You may not know this,
but I think of you often.
I genuinely miss you
but I don't know
what to say anymore.
I wonder how many memories I would have to erase

Before seeing your face made me do anything other than smile.
I don't know what's worse

Losing a friend

Or losing someone you had feelings for

I do know

It's hard when they're the same person

And everything you thought you knew about them no longer seems true.

Four days I wrote you

No response

Here I am

Day five

Slapping my hand away from trying again

I don't know why I keep going

Something about you

Seems worth reaching for.

I think I've realized the more poems I write about someone the more toxic they are to me

Here's number 25 for you

I suppose that pales in comparison to the thousands I wrote for my first love but I've known you a lot less time

And you've never even been mine

And that's okay

Because at this rate

You never will be.

I don't know what's worse anymore

Missing someone you once had

Or missing someone who was never even yours.
