Loving

I put on that dress you loved on me,

And kohled my eyes.I don't use this kohl everyday you know?Only for days like these.Spent a lot of time finding the earringsThat would be a perfect match.Happy."Won't be able to make it tonight."Your text read.I put on my understanding face.Watched a bit of TVPlayed some games on my phone.Waiting to hear your soothing voiceThat would make me feel better.Instantly."Amazing time with these beautiful people tonight!"Your timeline read.I put on my brave face.Smiled my fake smile for the worldEven as tears washed away thatWaterproof kohl from my eyes.Still staring at the phone, knowing you wouldn't call, I slept.Alone.
