The World Reminds Me of You
- The world reminds me of you.
- I see a photo of us
- one you took of me
- a post you would love
- A thought to share
- or a joke you’d laugh at
- I write it out
- type it
- attach it
- and
Delete it.
- Because I don’t know what we are anymore.
- Afraid of being wrong, giving the wrong impression
- when I don’t even know what’s right
- Forcing you out, hiding myself
- Not taking your clear hints
- Not responding in kind
- Dropping the olive branch
- Tamping down my first reaction
- Hurts a little more each time
- This can’t be right,
- but I don’t know what else to do
- I know you can feel it
- What’s missing when we talk.
- You could always read me so well.
- I hope you hurt less than I
- The world reminds me of you
- And I can’t tell you that
- right now ◼︎
