i need to stop talking about you
i really, truly do
but here's the problem:
i see you in everything
whenever a song we sang together plays
or i hear a loud car racing past
or i watch our favorite show
even when
he laughs at my jokes
or i lie on his chest
and i feel guilty
because yes,
it's his eyes i'm staring into
but that's only because
yours will no longer look at me
