Just so you know
When I smile bitterly after laughing to tears about you
When I still find you somehow in other’s stories
When I imagine how could it be if I did differently
I was not thinking about you
It was the past you
The version of you that buried permanently
Neither as bold nor hurtful as it was—well, finally
Someone who’s casually hanging deep
The you that I keep neatly in my memory
And I know with all my sanity—that he doesn’t exist
He did
But you don’t
