There is definitely a moment when you realize that something is still lingering
Between people
Some kind of connection, that you can't just ignore, put away, or lock inside
it's, as they say
Natural

And yeah it's terrifying (it's supposed to be)
The fact that she was almost every thought you had those three weeks
The reason you smiled, the reason you walked taller
Your 'good morning' and your 'goodnight, beautiful'

And you'd be insane to believe that those things could go away so simply, so quickly
you were drugged, drunk, high
And now, the hangover hurts
Memories you can't shake, thoughts that you don't know the origin of
How many drinks did you have last night?
You said what? to who?

So when you see her wearing the sweater you bought her
Or she comments on the apple sticker on your knee (something you once shared)
Or she smiles that same smile when she sees you
All of this, even after you've agreed it's over.
you can't help but wonder

Could she?-Is she still?-Wait.- What the hell?

You could tell yourself that the natural connection would go away when she did.
You could say that any attraction disappears on the earth-shattering car accident.

Or.


you could read into the signs. and let her still be the reason that you're smiling.
