Where Love Heals

I didn’t plan to miss you today—
it just happened
somewhere between a song
and the road I can’t avoid.

One minute
I was okay
even grateful
dancing at red lights
like nothing had changed.

And then—

there you were.

Not in front of me,
but everywhere else.

Your voice
your laugh
the way you touched me
like it meant something.

And I can’t understand
how it could mean that much
to me—

and so little
that you can just
stop.

Do you even think
about me?

Or did you leave me
so completely
that even the memories
didn’t stay?

Because I carry them—
all of them.

And tonight
they feel heavier
than I expected.
