I remember
I use to walk around
pronouncing your name
adding my last name
in place of yours.
Just yesterday
I caught myself
doing it again.
As I walked through
memories of you and I.
I pronounced your name
and then my last name.
A tear fell
because more than ever
I know
we are no more.

This is something i think everyone finds themselves doing. You did a good job of explaining the emotions that come along with it.

I, too, played with names this way and you've expressed that accidental habit poignantly.

Oh my this is so sad but I can be accused of doing the exact same thing. We all do it on occasion, dream on for it is all we have that is truly ours. Love, C
