Glowing

Your grandmother has been waving at me on Facebook

Every other week

Since we parted

I have not replied yet

But I feel like I should

I always liked her

And I don't want her to think that I don't

For Christmas, she sent me a chain letter in Danish

I wanted to tell you, I knew you'd find it funny

But I can't write you anymore

I can't stand that I hurt you

Can you stand, that you hurt me too?

I can't understand that that's the way things went down

And that those were the premises we had

And that we have again

How one day you look into someone's eyes

And their whole being seems to be glowing like a lamp

On the next day you both look grey

Somehow you blended into the wall

Can anyone see you at all?

I ask around to make sure you're ok

I hear you're doing fine

I hear you met someone

It makes me feel relieved

I want you to be fine

It makes me feel slightly weird

At the same time

I spent so many years thinking we'd always be glowing

I spent so many years thinking we'd always be glowing

But we're not glowing anymore

We're not glowing anymore

We're not glowing anymore

We blended into the wall
