Playing with your hair,

Lying in your bed,

I’m still the same me,

Nothings changed,

I wish I could go back,

To when you said my name,

Like a line in a play,

You’re here in the room,

But you feel far away.


I still wear your hoodie,

Though it smells like the past,

Trying to hold on

To something that never lasts.


I bite back the words,

Like “Do you still care?”

But the silence between us

Says more than a stare.


You don’t touch my hand

When we’re crossing the street,

Like love’s a routine

That we’re too worn to keep.
