thinking in verse

you ✩

5:51 pm

do you ever regret it

walking away from who you used to be

or have you also decided to leave regret behind as well

trading it for an easy smile

and carefree laughter

do you ever glance away

from your laptop

doing homework for all your honors classes

amid all your new friends

that you've just met

do you ever look back to that table in the corner

where the quiet girl sat with her flute

singing sad songs in her head

do you ignore her

because you are better feeling better now

or it's just that when you look back

you don't see a thing
