The water is still
in the fountain
at my knee.
I toss a penny in
and there’s two faces
in the water to see.
Strolling on the walk,
my shadow long
as the sun sets low.
I reach out
at empty air
and don’t want to let go.
A table for two
but there is only
one plate set.
I try to tell the waitress
there’s two
for this bill’s debt.
Ice cream in the park
as the night
hits slow.
One cone to share
weaving the crowd
we walk toe to toe.
Laughter and words
can’t help
but slip from my lips.
You catch the vanilla
as you move your hand
from my hips.
Staring ensues
from strangers
who don’t see.
For some reason
they don’t know you
are standing next to me.
Midnight comes
as fast as summer
slips away.
But between us
there is still
so much to say.
“I’ll always be
there, I promise.”
your smile starts to sway.
And then
you disappear
as soon as night turns to day.
I’m really alone,
and there is no one
to stare.
I’m not crazy
my boyfriend’s just a ghost
I swear.

I feel that. My ex-boyfriend ghosted me and then just decided a few days ago that he could swoop back into my life and flirt his way back into my life. I’m just not having it after all that he did lol

That’s terrible that he did that to you! You don’t need him, someone better is out there. Good for you for sticking up for yourself 😀
