Forgotten Nostalgia
I’ve tried to fall asleep
And forget what we were.
What we had doesn’t matter
If you’re not here to share the moments.
What if I never told you?
Would we still be together—
Or would our relationship
Still fall apart in the storm?
Thoughts of you flood my mind,
And for some reason, they still hurt.
Shouldn’t memories of you make me smile?
Why is it pain that lingers?
I want to tell you how much you hurt me,
But maybe that would be childish—
It wouldn’t bring you back,
Just push us further apart.
We could’ve loved each other till ninety,
Or split and hated each other at twenty-three.
What if I went through the same thing
With someone else?
Would I feel this heartbroken over you?
What if I swiped right and moved on?
Maybe I wouldn’t be in this dilemma.
Maybe I wouldn’t know what love looks like.
I resent you and I love you.
I thank you and I blame you.
You showed me what I want in someone—
And how I need to carry myself from here.
I’ll miss you.
And I hope, one day,
We can be friends again.
