Phantom memories dance in and out of my mind.

Reminding me of what I mistook for true love.

How she would tell me honey-laced words.

Told me everything she thought she wanted with me.

But there was only ever me and her never an us.

Then my heart plays a song that sings.

Of what I had found in another.

I was not sure if it was true but I felt it was.

I wanted to plant the seeds and see what grew.

I knew I wanted us to do everything together.

I had forgotten the scars on my heart.

Now that song is bittersweet for It's what I had.

It was something new. Like walking into a world that I overlooked for so long seeing it all truly.
