One, it was blissful, innocent
full of strange adventures,
a reality that smelled so like cinnamon
Oh, what a thirst quencher
as he satiated my desires
Two, we cave in our lives
grieving for the first time
Trying to forge a friendship in this dive,
a leap of faith to try
for all we see is each other
Three, a kiss to remember him by
we spend our day in an endless summer
See, this is a beautiful night
but this is just the start to a series of heartbreaks
Four, we are at our prime
exchanging secrets messages and secrets
Like teenage years that we missed
falling in love
Five, it’s a test of separation
Without the attention
I’m lost, lonely and frustrated
How is he the only one who can fulfill this decadence?
Six, we fight a war
Deciding what is worth and what’s not
reading messages that hurt
risk getting heartbroken the third time
Giving up so much for him, I don’t want to think of it as a mistake
Seven, love is just a realization
Breaking the bond feels like the perfect thing
a nagging feeling fills my chest
Telling me that I’ll regret it
leaving him like that
Eight, a week without each other
Strangers without a word to pass
as if no memories had been made,
no true words are spoken until pride is put down
Nine, we try to heal ourselves
Salvaging a relationship that had broken
a last date to make things perfect once more
It was more than perfect as we danced in the dark
Ten, friendship is blooming
the relationship is dying
Change is inevitable and I know what needs to be done
In turn, we fight, fight, fight
Eleven, we see each other for the last time
Say forever goodbyes
smile not because it’s over but because it happened
Accept that we will never be
remember forever that we were once
Today, my ex-boyfriend goes home. We were together for 11 weeks and there is a journey through these 11 weeks.
