They Say it Takes 21 Days to Break a Habit
day 1 - I sobbed at the sound of your name, my mom had to listen outside of my door to make sure I was still breathing correctly
day 2 - I woke up early to get your good morning text, and it crashed on me that you were no longer there
day 3 - I went in public for the first time, I looked rough but luckily nobody pointed it out
day 4 - I went to work and cried in the bathroom
day 5 - I spent time with my family and I didn't think about you much
day 6 - I saw you with another girl and I locked myself in my room the whole day
day 7 - I laughed without you
day 8 - I saw a picture of you on Instagram and I threw all the pictures of us away
day 9 - I partied with my friends and I didn't think about you at all
day 10 - what color are your eyes? what does your voice sound like?
day 11 - I saw you in the store, we made quick eye contact but then you looked away
day 12 - I didn't think of you at all because I was too busy telling jokes with another guy
day 13 - when is heartbreak so romantic? it's not romantic when you feel the inside of you just break and you have no willingness to do anything
day 14 - I almost wished you a happy birthday, but your new girlfriend was all over you, so I walked away
day 15 - I threw all of your belongings away
day 16 - I laughed as guys hit on me because I knew that they're all just like you
day 17 - I typed out a long paragraph to send you and my finger was shaking on the send button but I never sent it
day 18 - did you ever love me?
day 19 - my family asked about you, and I was strong
day 20 - I finally opened up to my mom about what happened
day 21 - this is a terrible poem about a terrible person but I don't think of you so much anymore, I don't think of you so much anymore
