Remember some of the words your friends used to say all the time that gradually became a part of your own vocabulary
Some habits that you made yours seeing someone from school you thought was pretty cool
the way you still write a letter in some certain way because your best friend from 5th grade wrote them that way
the fights you remember noticing the scars that you got while fighting over that last bite of dairy milk that you found in a deserted corner of your cupboard
Its how you still feel that your smile is the brightest part of yourself because that one crush you barely knew said so
The way dialogues remind you of the inside jokes that your friends had said while you were laughing till the point someone had fallen off the bed
some lyrics that remind you of the the person that made you hear the song for the first time
the way eating weird food combinations feels absolutely normal to you because the friends at your mess table ate it that way
its the small things that remind us that we’re all just remnants of people and things we’d once loved,keeping with ourselves the parts that we’re not ready to let go of yet
each part of us a different peculiar shape
just out here hoping for someone to notice all the different hues and shapes of our personalities as something other than imperfections
for someone to see the voids that others left in us as spaces to fill themselves with
