And Now ...

by saplingn

And now you're just a face in the crowd, That I used to recognise Every inch of; The eyelashes that curled more than mine, and The teeth that revealed that loving smile. And now you're just a name in a list of people Blurred out, no longer highlighted; Just like a on social media page, No longer giving me intense, unjustified butterflies. Oh, how they'd flutter inside. And now you're just a memory, A photograph, pausing a happy feeling; But not truly reflecting the previous, sorrowful Day or two, In which I made us both cry. And now you're just frivolous gossip. Your name bears this nostalgia; But can never fulfil me like before. I know I'm your past, And will never be your future.
