I Still Wear Your Bracelet
I dreamt of you last night
it was lovely
we were at school
i told you i missed you
and i was sorry
you said it was okay
you texted me later that night
i woke up
you weren’t there
come back
come back
come back
i want you to come back
i want you to tell me why you didn’t talk to me
i want you to tell me
why you would want to
tell me what i did
i don’t know
i talked to you
the day before school started
but you didn’t talk to me
why
why
why
please just tell me
it’s driving me crazy
The feel of your soft hands
on my skin
up and down
a soothing stroke
as you feel my arm
because i just waxed it
little did i know
that would be the last time you touched me
cuddles from you
better than my own boyfriend
could ever give me
your natural scent
a comfort i didn’t realize i needed
until we stopped holding each other
your lovely smelling hair
of green apples and something else
i can’t quite describe
i love your hair now
i wish i could be there
to tell you that
i don’t know why we don’t talk anymore
i truly wonder
you got me through one of the lowest points of my life
i will be forever grateful to you for that
you gave the best hugs
and had the sweetest voice
and oh god, i miss it
you seem sad now
i wish i was there to help you
but i’m not
i’m sorry for that
i wish you would come back
take me in your open arms
draw comforting circles on my back
like you used to
Does it ever occur to you
that maybe you were the one
who stopped talking to me?
i lost my best friend too
and i miss you
but you stopped talking to me
embarrassed me when i tried to talk to you
and you didn’t answer
just nodded your head
i smiled at you when i saw you
in the hallways
with my friends
i still wear your bracelet
the string is brown
and the letters are scratching off
the colors have worn away
like our friendship
but i still wear it everyday
i don’t really know why
it’s a comfort thing now
honestly
sometimes i think if i wear it
you’ll come back
but you never do
