I heard that you missed me.
That's hilarious.
Because you're the one who broke up with me.
What's even more hysterical was my reaction.
My mood shifted.
For a few seconds, my heart lifted.
Maybe I was secretly hoping you'd miss me- that you'd miss us.
But I can't.
I can't miss us.
I can't miss the continuous nights of tears.
I can't miss hiding that I was okay.
I can't miss the long summer days waiting for you to reply.
I can't miss the pain that you put me through.
I can't miss us.
I can't miss you.
