Last Message at 2 A.M.

You left your sweater on my chair

Coffee ring still on the desk

Your name on every empty shelf

Like dust I can't forget

You said "we're better if we stop"

Pulled your hand out of my hand

Now I'm scrolling through our photos

Like a life I can't re-live

Guess this is our last message at 2 a.m

Typing

Erasing the words I won't send

I love you

I miss you

I won't hit "again"

Letting you go hurts more than I can pretend

Guess this is our last message

I won't press send

I love you

I miss you

(it's better if it ends)

Your toothbrush staring from the glass

Blue and lonely by the sink

I keep on talking to the mirror

Using words you used on me

You said "one day you'll understand"

Now the hallway feels too wide

Every echo of your laughter

Hits the part of me that tried

Guess this is our last message at 2 a.m

Typing

Erasing the words I won't send

I love you

I miss you

I won't hit "again"

Letting you go hurts more than I can pretend

Guess this is our last message

I won't press send

I love you

I miss you

(it's better if it ends)

Maybe in another life

We get it right on the first try

But in this one I'm just staring

At three dots that never light

Guess this is our last message at 2 a.m

I miss you
