I don’t miss you as much anymore.
But I missed you so much at first.
One year ago, when we had that argument via text
and you stopped responding
I missed you.
So I texted you once in awhile
gradually becoming more remorseful
But still, no response.
I knew that I need not apologize
because you were in the wrong,
but after I cursed you and called you names
and talked about how she trapped you
and how could you stand it,
then I knew I had crossed the line.
I missed you then.
I knew you were gone, though.
So I deleted my account
even though I knew
you would never find me.
I have all your digits.
It’s all online, isn’t it?
And your email right there too.
All the details of your life, I know them.
Your business.
Your home address.
Your girlfriend.
Where she works.
And even your baby’s name.
Although you didn’t tell me.
Yet, you don’t know me.
My real name.
Where I live.
Where I work (or don’t).
You don’t know much.
I firmly demanded discretion
and you obliged
without putting up
much of a fight.
So I am just a figment.
An ember from your past.
And the more time that goes by
I hope you know
and perhaps regret,
all that you lost.
Although, I doubt it.
