graduation cap

I see your face on my phone for the first time in months
graduation cap and gown
a smile and glasses like mine
you look tired
and a moment omits the worlds between us
if I could forget
I remember my name on your voice in the dark
not wanting to sleep
to keep the dream safe from the sun
logic
and decay
like it meant more than chance
a string of tears and chemical reactions
like it mattered in the face of today
who we were and left behind
misremembered circumstance
adored in absence
through the screen
did we mean what we said?
do you want to forget? 
mourned in silence
on my phone
until you haunt my dreams again.
