Absurd Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

I thought I was over him,

Until I heard his name,

And it felt like the world stopped spinning,

Like all the moments we shared came rushing back.

I thought I was over him,

Until I checked my phone,

Hoping his name would light up the screen,

But the silence hit harder than any words ever could.

I thought I was over him,

Until something beautiful happened,

And I realized the one person I wanted to share it with

Was the one who's no longer there.



I thought I was over him,

But love doesn't fade;

It stays in the places we once stood,

In every laugh, every glance, every touch-

A memory that still aches, no matter how far.
