The Lingering Shadows

They left, but they never really left you, because you still see their shadow everywhere.

You see them in the coffee shop you two used to spend time at together and without realizing it you find yourself ordering their favourite cuppa. You see them at a record store and the next thing you know you're paying for their favourite band's latest album. You see them at your favourite bookstore, complaining because you took too long to pick a goddamn book to buy. You see them at the small park you two used to use to hide when the world was being a little shit, you'd lay down on their lap and they'd sing to you to sleep; and you wonder if they'll do your secret little routine with someone else, too.

Their shadow seems to follow you everywhere, even when you close your eyes, you see them in your sleep. You see yourself shouting the goodbye you never had the chance to say to a slowly fading form. All you wanted was a chance to say goodbye, but they left too soon. And even in your dreams, how they left stays.
