The thought of you still haunts my mind — ghosting each other; still you echo in old pet names, those childish spells we cast: calling me babe, you were my boo — now they sound like haunted nursery rhymes. _Ugghh!_ Self-cringing at the memories, self-sabotaging with these rewinds. Getting lost in your mirage; a thirst that never quite learned its lesson. Back then, I parked at the corner of love — these days, my heart’s engine won’t even start. My drive stays parked in the garage. We once kissed without question, and now I question every last kiss. When they say I still love you, I deny it like an alibi that no longer fits. But the truth is: half this story belongs to me, though I wrote every chapter like a reader discovering my own heartbreak, turning pages, rereading scenes I swore I’d forgotten, still hoping the ending changes somehow. We had our teasers, those sweet previews of our forever. But our forever got cancelled mid-season, and I’m stuck watching reruns of us, in the quiet glow of what could’ve been. Now your reflection lingers in the glass of every unfinished thought, I try to wipe it clean, but ghosts don’t leave fingerprints — but their fingers brush over your skin in these dreams. You and I were once a plot that burned too bright, two names inked in passion’s draft, now crossed out and fading. And so, we’ve met our conclusion; lovers turned legends in a ghost story that still tells itself at night.

Ghost Notes of Love
I have returned all that I borrowed— the dreams,the heat, the light. I face a narrow,stark tomorrow, and welcome the coming night. I drew a line around my name, a border with no gate. Inside,the rules are not the same: there is no love,no hate. I wonder— if you reached out your hand to me, would it find anything? Or pass through where I used to be, a ghost on winter's wing?
