You Look Good by hypen

An answer from another writer in peyups.com, according to the thread when it was still available the writers didn't know each other, maybe they would really look good together :) so here it is,,, sequel to "You Look Good Together post by kawaii"


I get visions of our seemingly endless trips together and our endearing lull times at home. I remember the way you rest your head on my knees, and the feel of your fingers traversing my calf. And the way I look at you thinking…God has given me more than everything beautiful in this world. 

It’s a shame really. Believing in something yet letting it sail away…

From afar I see. You look good.

Time has been good to you. I see. It must have been three?…two?…years since we last saw each other. But it seems more than that for me. I counted the minutes. And as much as I never lost count, I never lost what I felt for you. 

Pathetic, you might say. How stubborn I am for not believing that you don’t need me in your life anymore. How much I believed that the words you threw at me that night, were only words of anger. Hopeful that someday you’ll feel sorry for telling me so and so…

So here I am now, losing breath at the sight of you.

I should have insisted more. I shouldn’t have had myself affected by the pain. I should have begged for more of you. Because now I find myself not convinced by our last exchange of words. Had I only been more courageous, although with someone, I wouldn’t be this alone. 

We looked good when we were together. Yup. But the problem is...now you still do. And I don’t without you. 

Although my fingers are playing with someone else’s hair tonight, it’s the scent of your hair that’s playing in my mind...

As I see you now, I realize, you are happy with your decision. It's in the way your eyes are musing, longing for a definite someone to be beside you. 


May be I should move on. 

It’s for the common good.

You do look good.
