Whenever I type
The first letter
Of your name
My phone thinks of youEvery time it happens
I know, so irrational
But I get mad somehowDoesn't it know?
Know that I don't speak
Don't speak of you
AnymoreDoesn't it know?
That I don't want to think
Think of you
Like beforeRestless reminder
Of what we broke
Flashes before
Too fast for me
To close my eyesAnd before I know it
Whenever I write
About your first letter
I think of you
