i remember the night i cried the most
it was yet another time you stood me up again
but i was far too tired to care

i remember i was lying in bed
trying to sleep

i remember scrolling my phone
our texts
our pictures
and our memories

and then i remember
seeing a photo of you with someone else

and my heart broke
my lungs felt like it was about to collapse
tears rolled down from my eyes
my vision was blurred
and i almost couldn't breathe

i remember crying so much
i remember telling myself to forget you
i remember deleting your number
i remember deleting everything
i remember trying to sleep

it's been seven months
and i still remember everything
no matter how hard i try to forget
