Corrected Correction

I removed your name from my phone’s dictionary

Having grown too tired of it trying to bring you back

Auto-correcting you into sentences meant for other people

Reminding me that you still exist outside of this life. 

I would type “tomorrow” and you would appear

An electronic representation of both presence and absence

Contradictory states of existence forcefully inserted

Behind hopes and dreams for a new day.

Now you are gone

With your weightless well wishes floating with you

Trailing shadows as you pass over

Ascending into an alternate space.
