The night was young

       And I swear, I could hear

              Your      voice     in   the       wind.

It was calling to me,

       And I swear, I could hear

              The      sound     of   your     laughter.

It was calling to me.

 

In a frantic panic, I searched for

The   sound   of    your     laughter

      Echoing    

                   in    

                       my    

                             mind.

In a frantic panic, I searched for

Your face in the darkness.

 

Unsuccessful, I try to hold on to

       Your     voice     in     the     wind.

I stand restless and tired.

The night was young.


The author's comments:

Moving on from someone, whether it be a breakup or a loss, is not easy at all. There will be moments where you feel like you're finally fine until a thought about them pops up and sends you down an endless spiral of emotions. I wrote this poem during a time where I finally felt okay without my ex, but he still haunts my mind from time to time. It is tiring to go through this kind of cycle, but it gives you a lot of strength. Whoever else can relate and is going through something similar, just know that it will get better with time.
