After how many years, I saw you again walking the same street where we first met. You still have that boyish aura, that mischievous grin and your eyes never fails to light up whenever you smile. The same smile that made my heart flutter. The same smiling eyes that took my breath away.
I wanted to run towards where you are. Say hi, probably. I don’t know. I just want to be near you again. I’m crazy like that. It’s been years since the last time, and I still act like a moth attracted to flames.
It only took me 3 seconds.

I called out your name.

You looked around.

I swore I saw you look my way. But.. I guess you were looking right past me. I saw you, but you didn’t seem to recognize me. Instead you were looking at someone behind me. I didn’t dare to look back. I looked at your face.
You used to look at me like that.
Do you remember?
All it took was 3 seconds to break my heart again.
I don't see how you could fall asleep knowing I might not wake up in the morning.

“some days I feel like I’ve only kissed loneliness with the weights echoing parables of potential, you keep me in bruises I wear to my knees, yet we still chart the stars like we know how to leave here without becoming the icicles sinking past your eyes - I wanted to feel everything, but not all at once - if I’m being honest? I just want to believe in happiness again”

I never would have thought it would be you
To be the one to leave a mark on my heart forever
Although I knew the moment I saw you
You would be the one to change my life forever
I knew I would fall for you, and because of that
I fell apart because of you
Everywhere I go I see you
Even though I know you’re not really there
You were once my lover; my life partner
My one and only; my forever and always
Now you are a stranger
The only thing I am left with is a memory of you
A lesson learned; a story
A dream of the plans we once made
The hope that my future holds something as great as what it once held for you and I
But now I am moving on
Because to hurt like this; for this long
Is not okay anymore
You have had a toxic hold on me
One that I wasn’t able to let go of
But now I am freeing my myself from you
A bad word will never come from my mouth about you
I will only have good words to speak about you
I will always remember the best of you
And the best of what we once had
Because that is what I think of you
You were the one; the one that got away
But now it is time
To take in every second of this thing called life
To be the better version of myself
To live for today; not yesterday
Because I love you; I am letting go
