What is there to say

About us?

Nothing,

Except for the days of shared earbuds and music and laughs

In all those mornings, or even in class,

Or the time we ran together through the rain,

You held my glasses in your sweater as I embraced the pain

Of being blind

Because I didn’t think that you’d ever leave me behind.

Or when you held me close and I wished you’d never let go

Every one of my feelings being tossed to and fro.

Remember we watched the sun rise on the beach just the two of us on the shore?

With only a box of Cheez-itz and a towel to share

Your hair blowing out in the cool summer air.

As we played tic-tac-toe in the warming sand.

As we did everything but hold each other’s hand.

It’s those times I miss

When we snuck glances between episodes

of umbrella academy.

As we laid in your bed

And you cuddled close to me.

We never labeled it

I never thought we’d have to

But it’s those times I remember

When I want to surrender

Because you look at me now like I’m just a friend

Like nothing happened

Because technically

It never did

So what’s there to say

About us?

Nothing

So I guess this is

Farewell,

my almost lover
