I sometimes write letters in my head,
To people, I meet only once,
And then seem to forget.
“Friend”, I recollect:
Your name merely one on my newsfeed,
Social media reminding me we share memories,
Stories, pictures and inside jokes,
Your display picture is one I scroll past,
Your status is one I read and regret.
I sometimes write letters to you in my head,
Reminding you of the ice-cream you ate,
The tacos we shared, the mess you made,
But I always bin them,
“Acquaintance”, I recollect:
The letter best left not posted,
Your name best left unsaid.
