Sometimes,

In the middle of the night,

I wake up, and I feel like someone's just there

Watching,


And sometimes,

I think,

Maybe it's just the shadows remembering the lit screen of my phone 

at 3 am as we just

Talked and talked


Same place,

Same time,

Last year,

But nothing's the same

But everything's changed


I remember when I,

Broken, shattered me,

Had to watch you cry

As you were broken,

Shattered,

You,


And I remember when I,

realized that you were the first love I ever had,

And that it was so pure in how

It wasn't love like the movies,

It was love like us,

Like the sliding of raindrops down the window sill on a summer's day,

Like the sliding of drips melting ice cream into your hand,

down

down

down.


Same place,

Same time,

This year,

But nothing's the same,

But everything's changed,


I can't help but think,

As I lie there,

Awake.

That all the glances,

And the stares,

That all the screams,

And all the scars,

Are all just the same us we've always been.
