Portmantle

I hope you’re living your best life and we never catch up about it over coffee or a drink one day

I hope you meet a pretty girl and that I never hear her name

I hope that if you think of who we used to be, you feel glad you didn’t stay

I think of the way I think of you, and hope you’ll eventually feel the same way

//

I hope I never have to hear your voice or your laugh

I hate the memories, the good and bad, they all come flooding back

In equal parts nostalgia and regret

I don’t wish they never happened, I just wish that I could forget

//

I hope you delete my number from your phone

I’d rather spend the rest of my life sleeping alone

No more calling when you think of me at 5 in the morning

Even if it’s a lie, I’d rather think to myself that you’ve moved on

//

I hope you’re doing well and that I never see you again

I hope no one brings up your name and I will never have to pretend

That I’ve forgiven you or that I hate you or that I do or don’t wonder how you’ve been

I hope I never have to think about you again
