Stopped

My mom says I have a strange way

Of connecting deeply with everyone

And it’s hard to say goodbye

This time

I knew the goodbye was coming

So I could leave one morning with peace in my mind

But you

Oh I thought I could leave

And I guess I just felt my heart tug

“He fell first, but she fell harder”

And the boy who fell first

Also left first

Stopped replying to texts at 4:00 am

Stopped trying to ignore the distance

Stopped

And I think my heart

Can not handle this at all
