I didn't realize I had stopped taking pictures of myself          Maybe because he already knew what I looked like          Maybe because I had forgotten I didn't realize I had stopped listening to music         Maybe because I had found all the songs about him         Maybe because I had nothing to sing about I didn't realize I had stopped imaging my future         Maybe because it was already set in stone         Maybe because it was not mine I didn't realize I had stopped writing poetry         Maybe because one can only write so many love poems         Maybe because I no longer liked to think about my feelings I didn't realize I had stopped journaling         Maybe because he was there to share and remember with         Maybe because I wasn't doing anything worth writing down I didn't realize I had stopped working out         Maybe because he loved me no matter how I looked         Maybe because I had lost the motivation I didn't realize I had stopped reading         Maybe because I didn't need to escape anymore         Maybe because I never had a moment to myself I didn't realize I had stopped sleeping in my own bed         Maybe because I was sleeping with someone I loved         Maybe because I couldn't stand sleeping alone I didn't realize I had lost myself        Maybe because I was too busy taking care of us        Maybe because I had stopped.

I Didn't Realize I Had Lost
