A Poets Diary

The way we used to

I wanted to text you today

I wanted to tell you how crazy my Chem teacher was being

I wanted to meet you where I'd see you every day

Just to say hello and walk away

The way we used to

I wanted to talk to you in the morning

I wanted to ask you about your day

I wanted to tell you about how the day started so boring

I wanted to be there for you in every way

The way I used to

I wanted someone to ask about my day

I wanted someone to laugh at my unfunny joke

I wanted someone to gossip about stuff with me

I wanted someone to tell me about something they found funny

The way you used to

None of it would work, though

No one could replace you

No one could make me feel the way you did

Nobody is going to be like you

Now I can only remember loving the way we used to
