i’m sorry that i ghosted you.

i know now it was wrong
the way i disappeared.
not like i faked my death,
to give you closure.
not like i never existed,
and erased myself from your memories.
but like i didn’t care enough
to say goodbye.
i tried to write a few times,
once i regretted what i’d done
but you changed your number,
and moved on.
i always asked our friends about you
to see how you were getting on,
but i never had the courage,
to ask for your number again
