Lists
You know I used to keep a list of reasons to stay and reasons to go.
A side effect of of mixing OCD with Depression, like putting a red sock in the dryer with white underwear.
Never really expecting to make a decision. I’ve never really been great at making decisions.
What shirt to wear
What food to order
What unhealthy coping mechanism to turn to when life gets too hard.
But I never had trouble picking you
I never debated not choosing you
You just felt so natural, so sure.
I never expected your name to go from one list to the other.
Never expected to still think about you years after you’ve forgotten me.
Just like I never expected you to ask me to kiss you.
But I at least expected you to stay
To talk to me
To tell me why I wasn’t good enough.
To explain why you left my lists uneven
An odd way to say “I don’t love you”
Explain why after blocking all your profiles I can still see your face?
It makes me wonder how many other lists bare your name
