I want to write something about you
I want to write something special
Something meaningful
Elegant
Complete

But how can I write something
Already written

I could change our names
I could change our setting
But I can’t change our story
I can’t change the way it ends

I want to write about the memories
I want to write about the nights
The days
The beginnings
The middles

But how can I write something
Already written

I want to write something you’ve never heard before
But our story is so cliche
So redundant
So relatable

I want to write you out of my head
I want to write you out of my heart

Yet I sit here
Typing black letters onto a not so blank page
Typing words
Just words
Meaningless
Unfinished

I know what I want to write
I know what  I want you to read
Yet I can’t quite find the right place
The right line
The right time

You left
And it made me want to write

But how can I write something
Already written

Already knowing
The end
