There’s still moments when I hear you talking, walking away from me - stiff backed, strong willed, Flashes of glances of brown eyes crinkled up in laughter at a joke - you don’t laugh at my bad jokes anymore, And I tried not to read your Facebook statuses, or watch you across the room, I tried not to remember your poetry, or the way you always believe in yourself, I tried not to remember what being your friend was like, being more than friends, I tried not to remember any time I spent with you, or time spent with my mind on you, I ignored your presence, your breath and steps until you were nothing but a name on someone else’s tongue, an image on the inside of my eyelids, a ringing in my ears, you leaked away from the days and out of my life

Forgetting
There’s still moments when I hear you talking, walking away from me - stiff backed, strong willed, Flashes of glances of brown eyes crinkled up in laughter at a joke - you don’t laugh at my bad jokes anymore, And I tried not to read your Facebook statuses, or watch you across the room, I tried not to remember your poetry, or the way you always believe in yourself, I tried not to remember what being your friend was like, being more than friends, I tried not to remember any time I spent with you, or time spent with my mind on you, I ignored your presence, your breath and steps until you were nothing but a name on someone else’s tongue, an image on the inside of my eyelids, a ringing in my ears, you leaked away from the days and out of my life
