~~

it’s funny how people grow apart —

one day you’re laughing,

the next,

you’re not texting

or calling

or sending dumb memes

...

a girl i used to know

stopped calling one day

sent a birthday text —

like a ghost with good manners

i haven’t seen her in months,

she’s an old friend.

...

maybe it’s just the cycle of things.

maybe we’ll find our way back.

but that doesn’t make it hurt

any less.
