I think of you

When I click on shuffle only for it to land,

on your favorite song from our favorite band.

When the car swerves around the bend and I spot,

the park where we used to meet without getting caught.

When I’m scrolling, my thumb comes to an abrupt halt

at a picture of ‘us’ , my stomach does a feeble somersault.

When I check my speed dial and still find you,

up there but not around here to see me through.

In all these moments, big and small, tiny and huge,

I think of you and a million memories seek refuge.

I think of not only you but also the advisor, the best friend,

the part of myself that I lost when ‘we’ came to an end.
