Curse of the Ex
Jan 13, 2023
I saw you the other day,
but my body barely noticed.
No butterflies fluttering.
No heart pounding out of my chest.
My breath remained steady, and my pits were dry.
I wasn’t excited for the sound of your voice.
I didn’t look for the left side of your lip to curl when you smiled.
Your scent didn’t summon me across the room.
Our eyes never locked or even crossed paths.
I just saw you.
And, me and my body barely noticed.
