I stopped looking for you.
Stopped checking up on you.
Stopped rereading old messages.
Stopped wondering if you still cared.
Because none of it would bring you back.
You’ve been gone for a long time.
You checked out long before you walked away.
And I kept holding on to someone
who had already let go of me.

In my daydreams, in my wishes, in my ifs, coulds, and woulds, I thought, if hands could write realities, I would write your name next to mine.
