Do you or do you not?

Do you still shove your hands in your pocket
as you walk down the road?
Do you still hand comb your hair
even when there is no need to?

Do you still drum your fingers
across your knees, tapping your feet?
Do you still climb up to the roof
just to feel the breeze as the Sun goes down?

Do you still walk in the rain
without the worry of getting soaked?
Do you still hum your favorite tune
at almost every chance you get?

Do you or do you not?

Because every time I see anyone
do any of these, I think of you.
And there is this aching need
to know if you do too.

When you listen to the songs we loved,
does it tug at your heartstrings too?
When you move past the alleys that we walked in
do you see our footprints too?

When you meet the people we know,
do you suppress the urge to ask about me too?
When you let the numbness engulf,
do you wish to turn back the time too?

But you don't give in, don't fight hard enough.
Because like me, you know;
even if bits of us are together there,
there are parts of us that no longer fit.
