I wonder if crunchy nut is still your favorite cereal and if you still drink vodka straight from the bottle.

I wonder if you still stay on the phone for hours talking to your family and if you still stay on the phone till you fall asleep.

I wonder if you still tweet things you hear from movies to seem deep and if you still go to the movies every week.

I wonder if you still order take out every other day and if Papa John’s is still your favorite pizza place.

I wonder if you still live in that white house with black leather chairs, white and black curtains and black furniture.

I wonder if you still take cabs around everywhere and still ask your friends to pick you up.

I wonder if you still use that puppy face to have your way when you’ve done something wrong.

I wonder if you still spend hours getting ready like a girl.

I wonder if thoughts of me keep you up at night like yours do.

I wonder.
