1 ; for you
r e t r o s p e c t : a collection
of frozen wheels and cold nights
spent alone in the dark, i remember
when time stopped only for the
two of us. we watched as the snow
fall by your car window, and
talked about our dreams,
fears, and even the past we
thought wasn't worth that
remembering. but suddenly,
you turned as cold as ice,
leaving me trace your foot marks
on the snow (not knowing if
you'll ever come back).
of falling leaves and windy
afternoons, i remember how you
whispered to me how you'd end
up losing in life but i told you
that you're amazing, and you just
needed the motivation to move
forward. i remember your smile that
made my heart flutter, and how you
looked at me with those eyes. i
thought you needed me, but it guess
it was just me. why did the wind
blow us in this direction?
of frozen treats and warm sunday
mornings, i remember how your
laugh could practically make my day
and how amusing that you're
actually that talkative. i remember
when you took me out for a meal,
and god, that was the most wonderful
moment of my life. you and i, just you
and i. we were one for a moment. but i
guess a fire that shines too bright
doesn't last.
of colors and new beginnings, i remember
how one smile changed everything, how
one conversation made me interested
for a bit, and how one person transformed
my life entirely. you came so sudden,
but as they say, what comes easy
goes easy (you were an example of that phrase).
of pretend smiles and aching heart,
i write this especially for you: the one
who barged into my life without even
thinking of knocking. i welcomed you,
wishing you'd stay, but you're just like anyone
who entered my door: you left without an
explanation. we weren't together, so i
suppose you don't really owe me a goodbye.
