a mismatched shoelace

i find comfort in the fact that you don't know me anymore.
i don't use 'you're the one' perfume anymore, i use wicked.
i don't wear jeans much anymore, i wear long floral maxi skirts because i know you'd much rather me wear jeans.
i can't eat royal reese's brownies without getting sick to my stomach, not because of a stomachache- but because of the thought of you.
i don't do my eyeliner that way anymore, i know the way you liked it and how you'd compliment me every single time.
i tried to get back into playing guitar, but i only remember the one song you taught me.
a mismatched shoelace is the only part of you that's left, you have the other one after-all.
you stole my shoelace and my personality- but i am no longer that person.
i find comfort in the fact that you don't know me anymore, you only know my shoelace.
