i noticed you've started
posting again
the same things from
when we were together,
some type of pretty sky
wherever it was you were

i wonder if maybe it's because
there's someone else now,
someone you want
to share the pretty sunset with

you and those sunsets,
i remember how
you loved them so

i had always liked them,
but something about
the way you looked
so at ease,
with the light of the sun
painting you golden

i realized with
each night we spent,
i began to like them
and you
a little more

/

the sky gets dark
quickly now
and the crisp air
pinches my nose

the sun's long
goodbye
is away for
the season

and it instead
is replaced
with a gentle
yet quick wave

the cold feeling inside
has swallowed and
absorbed me whole

but there is beauty
in devastation,
a thing called
growth

and i can only
grow upwards
and stand up
from my
curled position

and each day
that heavy feeling
is lighter,
i find it's easier
to breathe

i don't know
how you feel

i don't know
if i ever will

and that is okay

i'll be okay.

and i hope
you will be too.
