Buried.

Sometimes you think you've buried it deep enough

only to realize in the instant when it all comes crashing back

 that you never really forgot.

these past weeks and months 

constantly trying to forget someone who forgot you

suppressing those feelings, those memories, his fading touch

locking them away in the darkest corner

building up the walls, putting on that mask

each time someone mentions him, them.

feeling yourself crumble a little because of happy he looks

but you insist you're happy for him

because You are.

you just forgot to mention that while you're glad he's happy

you sometimes still struggle with the pain

that heart-wrenching, empty feeling in your chest,

it shouldn't be there anymore

should it?

You're getting better now

so don't let yourself miss a single thing about him, about the both of you

don't let yourself tear up anymore just cause you get reminded

Keep it up, keep going on.

Keep looking forward, keep wishing him; them, well

and it's okay to still have those feelings

just remember to pack them up each time you accidentally fall apart

It will be okay

at the end, it always is.
