broken

someone who used to take up all your time

now only takes up a slot in your photo album

 

you pass on the street

and you both pretend not to care

 

someone who used to fill your mind

is now just a distant memory

 

and we'll pass each other in our new lives

but neither of us will admit-

that we secretly wonder what could have been

 

I know your smell, that old familiar smell.

The expressions you'd make and their meanings.

I can feel the soft touch of your fingertips.

These are all things that I will never forget.

 

When our relationship ended, my love for you didn't.
