We used to look for that perfect pizza slice
We used to trade jokes about our future lives
We used to be close, they say that feeling ends,
We used to talk for hours now when I text I hesitate before it sends
They say nothing lasts forever and I know that’s true,
But I always thought it would be different for me and you,
I see you some nights in my dreams but that’s where it dies,
I am tired of waiting for answers to what’s and why’s,
This is a story I know everyone has lived,
They all say we forget but we never forgive,
It’s just at some moments when I do something mundane,
I think of what we had and it drives me insane
Do you still think back to the stupid jokes?
Cos when I do I can’t breathe I just choke,
I look to everyone around me with their great little lives,
I know I’m no textbook picture-perfect wife
But somewhere sometimes I remember us two,
Maybe you don’t, and maybe you do

Wow, Meetali. Very well worded. Exactly how we feel about a relationship that didn’t work out. The memories are always there. We may forgive but we don’t forget. Awesome!
Wonderfully written and expressed Meetali. Keep writing and keep shining.
