Being back home is harder than I remember.
All the places we used to go,
I still see you there...
Even if you're not actually here.
Like today,
For example,
I am at my old high school..
Watching this years seniors graduate.
And as I sit,
Seats behind where you and my family sat,
I still see the back of your head.
I still see you sitting beside my brother.
And as a wind blows by,
I swear,
I can smell you...
And I can hear you whispering in my ears.
That's what happens,
I guess,
When the person you still love,
Suddenly ceases to exist in your life.
I hope you're doing okay.
I hear you're throwing a party.
I wonder if you'll see me,
Sitting on the kitchen island...
You probably won't.
You're probably just fine.
You're probably enjoying your time like Cody says,
You're not down at all.

An open ended letter to you
PoetryYou broke my heart, but there are still things I want to say. So I put them here. I hope you find them, understand, and regret what you did to me, but know that I forgive you.
