Scrolling Back To You

I re-read conversations

Scroll back to once told jokes

Remember your opinions

And your smile through the phone


First year we walked The Gardens

Last Summer made Fall plans

Had visions of forever

Full trust

The best of friends


Your birthday’s in my calendar

Your face lights up my screen

Remember that time

Back in ‘09

We were happy you and me?


But you’ve left for Mississippi

And you’ve never kept in touch

Messages, just filled storage now

Conversations left untouched


I still love you

Though you hate me

Still dream of you each night

I miss you in the mornings

And I miss the way we’d fight


I miss the way you texted me

And the Home Screen on your phone

I think of how you held me tight

While I lay in bed alone


Mom says it’s high time I move on

Dad still curses your name

And yet here I am at 2AM

Scrolling once again
