~In the mist~

In the middle of my thoughts, your name hangs like fog. It wraps around my neck, and I forget how to breathe. Your eyes, your smile— they live inside my chest like a wound that won’t close. I smile, but it feels heavy, like falling without an end. Why did it have to be you? Why did my heart choose the one who wouldn’t stay? No one spared me. Not even you.
