I woke up today

The morning air was cold

Haven’t been sleeping in much

without you

Drank my coffee by the window

spot next to yours

Hasn’t tasted good for weeks now

Need to remember to switch brands

Need to remember to set reminders to do that

The way that you always did

I notice I’m in my head a lot now

The space we took up is now carried by only me

Our anecdotes and secret language

All now exist only in my thoughts

An overflowing filing cabinet

Keeping you alive in ways

That no one else can see
