looking up

from the bottom of a well

i see a circle of the world

above me

but there’s only darkness down here

how did i get to this place?

i don’t remember falling

so far

when you took my hand

looked me in the eyes

and said it

i love you

i don’t know who you are now

but that version of you

meant it

i hope the real you

the one that loves me

comes back soon

when we were no longer “we”

when you became a ghost

the hardest part was understanding

you were still out there

living your life

a ghost only to me

spent so much time

wanting you.

i spent more time

loving you.

i will spend forever

missing you.

start to panic

then sink

what did last night mean

my phone vibrates—

is it you

saying this was all a mistake?

i can withstand and ignore the cracks in your commitment and the attitude in my answers. as long as it goes back to you and i, i think we could be just fine.

time doesn’t hold for hopeless romantics,
