Breathe In Poetry.

You left her there. She gave you everything, and you took your hint of guilt and left behind a goodbye and a broken girl.

Maybe it didn't hit you at first. Sure, you slept while she stayed up. Your pillows didn't stain with tears. Your shower didn't end in sobs. Your stomache didn't crave in every morning. Your heart didn't ache every breathe.

But maybe you run into her months down the line. Maybe you hear about her new love, the news spilling across the floor like a new stain on the carpet she used to tread on. Maybe, you meet her on the coffee shop and she stopped cutting her hair, and it trails down her back like the past she used to left you behind in. And the heart ache isn't hers anymore. Her smile reaches her eyes now and her laugh light up the room.

You forgot, didn't you?you forgot the way she held you the night you couldn't fall asleep. You forgot the way she covers her mouth when she laughs, the way she cups her hand on the mugs to keep her fingers warm, the way her hand always a little bit cold.

Oh, but you'll remember. And maybe if you're lucky, you wont be holding something fragile when you hear the news. Maybe if you're lucky,your heart will only ache for a fraction as long as hers did. Maybe if you're lucky, she'll pick up when you call. But even if she still has all the tenderness for you in the world, her voice is not the same. She doesn't love you anymore. You lost her. And you can't ever get her back.
