I found our old conversations
Hidden away like dirty secrets

The nostalgia is crushing me
The urge to reach out suffocating me

I resist the temptation
Pushing my phone away

I will sound creepy,
When I say this

But I found your socials
Eagerly scrolling through years

Pictures of your life
Your perfect life

Without me
Without thoughts of me

It's better this way
I'm no longer in the way

Im unsure why I crave the reconnection
Doubting my mind

Pushing me back to a negative space
The place I don't want to fall back into

The darkness crawls up my throat
Purging itself into my lap

It's been almost 10 years
I can't let myself fall into this pattern

Why can't I let you go?
The way you have
So. Many. Times.
