Documented memories

Followed by late night talking

One response on your cellphone

Afterwards

No reply

You leave me on read

Dreading that checkmark

Followed by I’m in my world

And your in yours

While the memories of you to me remain

The songs we listened to

The connection that lasted a short but meaningful while

A trip to the leaning tower

That moment you leaned on me before you went to bed

Our spoken words together

Our laughs all remain only a memory today

For you are the one who left

And didn’t return to my side

For maybe in another life

You’d feel the same way I did

But standing on my feet

Grounded and perfectly positioned to say the least

I best know that you weren’t the one for me

For you alone are just the one that got away
