Things I Never Told You

I still dream in your voice.

Your name still fits right between my teeth the way it always did.

I never liked the color blue until I met you.

I read the book you gave me, underlined the parts that felt like us.

I tried to forget you, but the ocean doesn’t forget the shore.

I should have said I love you. I should have said stay.

But I didn’t, and now it’s too late.

Now all I have are poems I never shared

and a sky that still looks like your eyes.
