"Just like how each minute and each second are different, day by day you become different."

Earth has circumnavigated the sun ten times, travelling 5,840 million miles from its first orbit since the first time our eyes met. Earth has rotated around its own axis 3,650 times since the first time that small dimple on your chin appeared. Days passed, years changed, and I almost believed that eternity was perceptible because things never changed along with the time we spent together. 

Or so I thought. 

I was wrong. We changed. Everything changed. But since we all changed, I failed to notice. 

Because I too, changed.

Do you remember when the last time we stayed in our room together, talking about nothing to everything was? Or when we first kissed and how shy we were after our lips parted?

I remember them all. Undoubtedly. Clearly. Vividly.

It is hard for me to learn, accepting the fact that things became different. You never grew taller, but you grew older. Your eyes still captivated me, but they lost their twinkles. The dimple on your chin that always appeared every time you smiled never changed, but the smile had faded abundantly. Your melodious laugh I loved to hear never changed but it lost its voice. And you, the person who used to breathe the same air as me, are no longer breathing.

I thought things did not change and would never change. But I was wrong. 

Though our love had never changed, and would never change, it now takes a different form. The warmth of your skin that touched mine every time we hugged, or the softness of your lips when our lips locked, is no longer here. My senses had weakened but others, heightened; my memories. Our memories become my partner. I nurture it, I hold it, and I dance with it.
