Late night. Smoke in the air, thoughts that don’t sit still.
Some people don’t leave. They just change shape.
Not better. Just… easier to hold when they live somewhere else.

I saw you
in a softer light
No sharp edges
no need to fight
You stayed longer
than you ever did
In my head
you never left
You moved slow
like you cared
Said things
you never said
Your hands knew
where to land
In my head
you understand
You were better…
better in my head
Colder truth
warmer instead
You were real
till you said what you said
Now you’re only
better in my head
No late silence
no empty bed
No words hanging
half-dead
No looking through me
like I’m not there
In my head
you still care
You were better…
better in my head
A clean lie
over what we had
You were close
till you slipped instead
Now you’re only
better in my head
I didn’t lose you
I lost the way
you never were
That version
never learned to hurt
You were better…
better in my head
No goodbye
no words unsaid
Just a ghost
in a place we never had
You’re still better…
in my head
