i can’t believe i saw you. you’re in front of me once again. the last time we did, my world revolved around you, and your world revolved around me. god, it’s crazy how time and distance really drift people apart. you were wearing the same shirt you lent me the time i threw up on my white blouse. the same shirt you kept in the backseat of your car.
now, you’re wearing it like it nothing ever happened.
i look at you. i try to look at the same eyes i stared at the night we danced under the glowing april moonlight. you looked back, but not long enough for me to feel the slightest bit of hope. not long enough for me to even recognize it was really the same eyes.
you go on and talk about how your life has been. hearing you talk about your life now has made me realize how we lost communication. how it ended so quickly. how you left without even saying goodbye. it hurts knowing you’re doing so well, when here i am, still in the process of picking myself up from the shattered pieces you left me with.
you tell me you’re dating someone new. you told me so casually. so cruel. like i was someone you never spent a part of your life with. i guess what hurt me the most was how easy it was for you say, “i’m dating someone new.”. it was like you had no sense of accountability for the pain i’m going through.
the night ended with you taking me home. you pull over and i say “thank you”, without looking at you. you said, “sure. no problem. good night.”. i open the door and get out of the car. i walk towards my front door as the tears stream down my face. i hear your car pull away from the driveway. i look back,
and just like the last time i saw you,
