A coping mechanism
I come back every day to write in a journal of mine
A bit of my day I wish we could’ve shared
I know you will never be able to read it
But a part of me hopes to see you again
The world is small and unpredictable
So just maybe it’s not that far fetched
I write in a little journal to keep this delusion
Even when you’re not here
This journal is a reminder
Of what you missed and all the things I hope to tell you about one day
Maybe it’s unhealthy
But I do this to keep the memories of you alive
I don’t wanna forget
Nor do I want you to forget me
Some tell me to move on
But if I did what would happen to those memories
If I don’t keep them
Who else would be able to retell them
Someday I hope to see you again
