september 3rd

today, I woke up

and I stretched my arms out

and I breathed in the same

stale, familiar air

five months gone

and my eyes don't water anymore,

because I got to the part

where I forgot

and tonight, I laid down

in the same crinkled sheets

that smelled like stale dreams

and torn smiles

after finally unblocking your number

I saw your name on my phone

and I finally listened to the message 

you sent me in September

and it was like you hadn't been gone a day in my heart

im sorry for being so cold,
