Some questions that cross my mind from time to time...

Which side of the bed do you sleep on?

Do you still..

Play video games to all hours of the morning when you know you should be sleeping?
Leave empty beer cartons in the fridge?
Leave a trail of coins around the house everywhere you go..
I always used to pick them up for you and put them in a jar..
Is your washing basket overflowing?
Are there dishes in the sink?
Does the dishwasher need to be unpacked?
Does the bin need to be emptied?

Do you still...

Tear the house apart when you can't find something or you're running late?
Fall asleep on the couch even though it's bad for your neck?

Are you still obsessed with ****** documentaries, ****** and space?
Make up your own songs and sing when you're really happy?
Listen to music blasting in the shower?
Listen to the Guilty Pleasures playlist on Spotify?
Are there songs you just can't play anymore?
Forget to call or text your family back and need reminding?
Are you working yourself to death and staying out late basically every night?
Do you say you're not drunk when you clearly are?
Do you still shut-down your emotions when you're ******* or sad?
Are you eating home cooked meals or take-away basically every night?
Do you still eat ice cream even though it doesn't agree with you?
Do you randomly blurt out amazing and interesting facts about anything and everything?
Is your favourite cocktail still a Negroni?
Do you still put a "lucky dollar" in the pokies when you pass by a machine?
Do you still talk in your sleep and snore?
Some (definitely not all) were things I used to adore
And I could list so many more
These things might sound like I'm picking you apart
But these are things I still remember about you
Things that are kind of tattooed on my heart
But in the end, we weren't right for each other and gradually grew apart
You were a massive part of my life for so long
I don't understand how something that was so good could turn out so wrong

But I guess these things happen and life goes on..

Just know that there was a time where I loved and cared for you
Unconditionally and wholeheartedly


I know I wasn't perfect
And I would never claim to be
Maybe I could've been better
Maybe if I was different things would've ended up differently

Sometimes I wonder do you have questions for me
Or have you forgotten about me entirely

And now I'm nothing but a distant memory
