I used to regret erasing all your voicemails. All I wanted was to loop the last two seconds it took for (you) to say you loved me, so that way I (never) had to fall asleep thinking any different.
Now, I'm (really) glad I burned all your belongings, and threw away all your letters that were signed with you are so (loved). I would've found them as reasons to go back because empty threats were far too familiar to (me).
And today I saw a picture of us, but it (did) not hurt in the sense you'd think because I saw you in a crowded room just last week, and (you) were nothing more than a passing face.
