i dreamt of you
and woke up in crying fits
ruptured breathing
as if both my lungs
were punctured
i cooped myself up
as if i was a butterfly hugging
onto its cocoon tightly
and spent the remaining night
listening to songs
that remind me of you
i was incapacitated
as i stared blankly at the ceiling
that projected our memories
i wondered about the possibilities
about the what ifs
as the rain roared
and futilely tried to drown out my thoughts
about you
about us
then my vision blurred
i forgot about healing
i forgot about self care
all i remember now is
you
us
