I saw you today,
a stranger i once knew too well.
your favourite colour,
your favourite food,
your 3 a.m. thoughts,
the way you'd smile
right before saying goodbye-
i knew them all.
but today,
i walked past you like we never
dreamt the same future,
as if my hands never
waited for your name
to light up a screen
that stayed dark.
as if i never stayed up
for that one call,
that one text,
that one-
“let's try again”
funny, isn't it?
how we un-loved
without even letting go.
I wonder,
do you ever feel it too?
because...
i still love you,
My Favourite Mistake.

It hurts in the quietest way possible how someone can go from being home to just a memory I pretend I don’t search for in every crowd
.
