you left
delicate crescent moons on the inside
of my bottom lip when you kissed me
last week.
you left
my body numb to your piercing eyes
and when i smelled you on my favorite sweater
i couldn't help but envy your cologne.
you left
handwritten letters on your beside table
instead of mailing them to me
because you did not have any stamps.
you left
heartfelt messages on my phone saying
how you are overjoyed to be in love with me.
you left
little "i love you" messages for me to look at
when im sad.
you left
a certain conversation the next morning which
tasted like friday night's freedom,
leaving me breathlessly more in love with you.
and you?

you left.
