Memories

She managed to smile
more genuinely somehow,
because her heart
doesn't ache for him now.
She doesn't feel empty anymore,
and her eyes don't search
for him like before.
She doesn't get butterflies
in her stomach when
she hears his name,
maybe because things
are just not the same.
Now for her, he is just a stranger
with a past with memories
which will always last...
