my aunt made mention of your name
I put my drink down, straightened my posture, and composed myself before forcing a response about your well-being through my gritted teeth.
It never gets easier- Hearing your name
It is as if I am learning to speak whenever you are brought up- trying to sound out words and structure my sentences, becoming tongue tied.
My habits worsen with every memory that passes through, you made such a big impact in such little time. I wish we never met...
but we both know that is a lie
I want to say I miss the love given to me without thought,
but I miss the love given without thought, that was given by YOU.
there is no way to escape your orbit. Gravity never fails to bring me back to the reality of life without you.
If I could only erase the memories of you from all my friends and family who you struck with your golden tongue. Your charm still influences all who have stepped foot in your presence
Speaking at your ghost helps me cope- you have not died, however you have killed apart of me.
You are never the same once someone who entangles their souls with yours, leaves.
I will never be the same, but change is good and change is needed to grow.
Thank you for teaching me
Thank you for helping me find me
