That's Why
by Cassie Harris
Wherever the rumors start,
It doesn’t change what you did
We act as if we are apart
That is why I never visit
Doesn’t matter when you text
You ignored me at my job
I think of you as just an ex
That is why I don’t respond
Whenever the words felt off
Like the relationship was a fluke,
You responded with a scoff
That is why I never said “I love you”
Doesn't matter when you text
You don’t see how I moved on
I delete the messages right then
That is why I don’t respond
However you looked at me
Something always felt amiss
I now feel way more free
That is why I never visit
It doesn’t change what you did
We act as if we are apart
That is why I never visit
Doesn’t matter when you text
You ignored me at my job
I think of you as just an ex
That is why I don’t respond
Whenever the words felt off
Like the relationship was a fluke,
You responded with a scoff
That is why I never said “I love you”
Doesn't matter when you text
You don’t see how I moved on
I delete the messages right then
That is why I don’t respond
However you looked at me
Something always felt amiss
I now feel way more free
That is why I never visit
