If love was easy

I wake up late with your name on my screen.

Coffee gets cold while I stare at the rain.

Your hoodie still smells like yesterday.

I pretend that I’m fine again.

My room is quiet but my head is loud.

I replay words that I should have said.

You said forever like it was easy.

I believed you without a plan.

Now I talk to walls at 2 a.m.

My phone lights up but it’s never you.

I write these lines just to feel close.

I miss the version of me with you.

Your laugh still lives in my chest.

Your shadow sleeps on my bed.

I’m scared to move on too fast.

I’m scared to stay the same instead.

I count mistakes like broken clocks.

Every second points back to you.

You said we needed space to breathe.

Now I’m drowning in the room.

Your favorite song still hurts to hear.

I skip it but it plays in my head.

I say your name in passing prayers.

Hoping you’re better where you are.

I smile online like I’m healed.

But my nights tell a different truth.

I keep your photos just in case.

I’m weak when loneliness speaks.

I learned that love can be quiet.

I learned goodbye can be slow.

If you ever miss me too.

Just know I never let you go.

If love was easy I’d be okay.

If hearts didn’t break I’d stay the same.

I hold your memory when I can’t sleep.

You’re my favorite pain.

Maybe one day this won’t hurt.

Maybe your name won’t shake me.

But tonight I’m still yours.

Even if you don’t stay.
