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
