I Hope You Are Fine

I took the long route home today

Thoughts running wild

I sped through the by lanes

So that I could blame the dust in the air for the tears in my eyes

But keeping everything aside

I hope you’re fine

I go to our favourite cafe spaced out, thinking of how we’d be sitting in the corner sipping coffee

That’s when my heart sinks

Reminding me of the darkness that prevails

But keeping everything aside

I hope you’re fine

The sunset I had been admiring since my childhood seems to have lost its charm

I can almost see the impression of your fingers on the edge of my arm

I’ve got chills down my spine

But keeping everything aside

I hope you’re fine

I stand by an empty road, hoping you’ll walk by

I tell myself not to get my hopes too high

This uncertainty has become my companion now

But keeping everything aside

I hope you’re fine

Food has lost its taste

I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t pretending

Even writing has begun to feel like a waste of time

But keeping everything aside

I hope you’re fine
