you disappeared without a sound, no closing door, no final sentence to tell me where to place the ending. sometimes i imagine you walking through another version of life where I don’t exist at all, where my name never crosses your mind the way yours lingers in mine. i look for you in small things. songs that feel familiar, crowded streets in a city you don’t even live in, places we would enjoy together. it’s strange how absence has weight. how it follows me home, sits beside me quietly, waiting for me to notice it again. i wonder if you are happy or just busy learning how to forget. i wonder if you ever reach for your phone and stop halfway, remembering there is no reason to call. without you the map of my days feels wrong, like i’m walking paths that used to lead somewhere and now just keep going.

losing my way
you disappeared without a sound, no closing door, no final sentence to tell me where to place the ending. sometimes i imagine you walking through another version of life where I don’t exist at all, where my name never crosses your mind the way yours lingers in mine. i look for you in small things. songs that feel familiar, crowded streets in a city you don’t even live in, places we would enjoy together. it’s strange how absence has weight. how it follows me home, sits beside me quietly, waiting for me to notice it again. i wonder if you are happy or just busy learning how to forget. i wonder if you ever reach for your phone and stop halfway, remembering there is no reason to call. without you the map of my days feels wrong, like i’m walking paths that used to lead somewhere and now just keep going.
why does everyone leave? why do i feel so lost?
