if you were here
“if you were here
i’d say nothing
just sit next to you
and let the silence
say everything.
i’d watch you laugh
like i used to
and maybe
just for a second
believe i never lost you.
i still save songs
you would’ve liked
and wonder
what you’d think
of the person i’m becoming.
sometimes i forget
you’re not coming back.
i still check
like maybe you’ll text.
like maybe you miss me too.
but you don’t.
and you won’t.
and i know that.
still,
if you were here
i’d pretend
for a little while
that we never ended.”
