I still put two sugar cubes in my coffee
and a crazy amount of jelly in my
PB sandwiches
The fairy lights we bought together
are still up
and my dog is still not over
the fact that you left
Neither am I
But thanks for asking.
I still work at the same crappy underpaid firm
and sometimes visit bookstores
to reshelve wrongly placed books in their respective sections
so that they feel more close
to home.
I used the matching
pair of socks you got for us
to make sock bunnies for
my 6 year old niece
and
The drawer that used to
be filled with Skittles and
candies is now stocked
with anxiety pills
and post
heartbreak traumas.
But thanks for asking.
Those tacky romantic comedies
make me nostalgic
so I switch the channel to some random cooking show
and carefully note the recipes
for that kind elderly neighbor
who used to bring us
sweets every now and then.
I still put illogical wishes
in helium balloons only to
let ’em float away in the
sky as crimson blue as
your favourite galaxy tshirt.
The same galaxy t shirt
you used to make our dog wear
and carry him around the house
like he’s some innocent puppy
on a space mission.
Nothing is same without you.
But thanks for asking.
