On the day you left I went to class I couldn't concentrate I read your last message I thought it was a mistake I tried to eat lunch I wasn't hungry I read your message I scrolled through reddit I scrolled through Facebook I searched for you I couldn't find you I read your last message I thought perhaps you were scared I checked my Snapchat You were gone I read your last message I did laundry I tried to study I read your last message I thought it was my fault I cried I wrote a poem I read your last message I went to the library I pretended to study I read your last message I met with a friend I stayed up late I laughed and joked I went to my dorm I plugged in my lights I changed into my pajamas I read your last message I watched funny videos I didn't laugh I unplugged the lights I read your last message I repeated the words I stayed up way too late I thought perhaps I never mattered to you I didn't touch my phone The message is burned inside my head

The Day You Left
On the day you left I went to class I couldn't concentrate I read your last message I thought it was a mistake I tried to eat lunch I wasn't hungry I read your message I scrolled through reddit I scrolled through Facebook I searched for you I couldn't find you I read your last message I thought perhaps you were scared I checked my Snapchat You were gone I read your last message I did laundry I tried to study I read your last message I thought it was my fault I cried I wrote a poem I read your last message I went to the library I pretended to study I read your last message I met with a friend I stayed up late I laughed and joked I went to my dorm I plugged in my lights I changed into my pajamas I read your last message I watched funny videos I didn't laugh I unplugged the lights I read your last message I repeated the words I stayed up way too late I thought perhaps I never mattered to you I didn't touch my phone The message is burned inside my head
