I moved on

 I moved on.

I don’t sleep on just one side of the bed anymore.

I don’t flinch when your favorite song plays.

I stopped checking my phone,

stopped wondering if I should’ve said more.

I smile again.

Laugh, even.

There are people who make me feel seen,

who listen when I talk about everything...

except you.

You’re a name I keep in the quiet.

A ghost I no longer chase,

but still let stay.

Because some loves don’t end.

They just stop happening.

And we learn to live without them.

I didn’t wait for you.

But when I drive past that spot,

where you once told me you loved me

I still look.

Not because I think you’ll be there.

But because for a moment,

we were.

And maybe that’s enough.
