The Other Person

I grew my hair,

Well, i cut it before i let it grow out again, i don’t like the stress of maintaining it, but i don’t think I’d cut it again

I finally found the second pair of my favorite sock, i wear it all the time. It has two holes in it and i poke my toes out

I listen to KALEO and Tall heights and The head and the Heart, i still listen to Jon bellion and The lumineers, although not as much as we used to, and on some days i skip the songs we danced to.

I called my dad back and patched things up

I no longer eat chicken feet

I can no longer finish a box of pizza

I cook now, well too, although i still don’t like eating, i started following a healthy diet too. I still don’t have a favorite food

I hate the color purple, i used to think i like it, but i actually just don’t get it

I still write, just not about you

Although your shadow has never left my stories.

I started going on walks, i used to do it to get my mind off you, but now i really like it.

I fixed up my brother’s old car, got my license, but i never drive anywhere.

I got a better job with a better pay

I made one new friend, but we became strangers too.

I have a 55 day streak, and it makes me happy

There’s a long list of thing I’ve done since you left,

Things i did to fill the space you created

Things that has become part of me

Things i love that i wouldn’t have found if you hadn’t left me.
