the weight of nothing

We didn’t break up, 
we never started, 
yet here I am, sifting through 
what was and wasn’t, 
our silent promises folded and kept 
in the pockets of a memory 
that never took shape. 

We never held hands, 
but I trace the empty air beside me, 
feel your laughter in spaces 
you never stood. 

How strange it is to miss 
something we never had, 
to feel the weight of nothing at all.
