I know you aren’t dead,
but your ghost lingers
in my mind,
in my heart,
& everywhere we made memories together.
I see those blurred moments that we shared, slowly starting to fade.
I can’t say that your departure hurts,
but it does leave me haunted.

I wish I had adequate words
to describe the hole
I felt in my heart
maybe you filled it
maybe you left it bigger
than before…
all I know is that each
time you cross my mind,
I feel it again
even more
deeply than the
last.

I hold a different air around me when I know you’re back home.
What was once happy is now curious, both of what happened & if you still care.
The curiosity overwhelms me most days.

I’d rather be no one to you than to feel your cold glance
because then that would mean I never felt your warmth before feeling your winter.

My gaze loves to fall upon you,
but oh,
how I wonder what your glance feels like.
