Mapped in light
To the unreachable,ungraspable moon : we matched like constellations, sleeves brushing, necklaces shining, a galaxy tucked inside a polaroid we swore we'd never lose.
do you still wear those bracelets? do they jingle like echoes of us? or have they quieted, like your voice in my head? do you still play badminton with fire in your eyes and that wolf cut catching wind like it was made to dance?i wonder if you ever think of me when you tie your laces, when a certain beat hits, when you pass a mirror and for a moment you swear i should be beside you.
i keep thinking you might look up one day and know know that someone out there still believes in you. still waits. still aches.
are you doing okay? are the stars still kind to you? do you sleep easier now without my name folded into your dreams?
the stars still know us. they remember what we were. sometimes, i think they hold onto you just long enough so i don’t forget.
