dear Jack
Theres a customer at work who looks kind of like you.
He would ask about my day and smile at me.
I would look at him and wish it was true,
i look at him and wish it were you

you’re still carrying little fragments of him into every new face, even when you know it’s not him

i felt that too, staring at someone and thinking “if it were them” and feeling my chest tighten. it’s a quiet kind of ache, isn’t it

i hated how i kept imagining it was him, even though it wasn’t. made me feel like shit every time i caught myself smiling back
