I forgot his birthday was on Saturday...

It feels great.

I remember the first time I saw you.

Is that creepy?
Probably.
Well I do.

And sometimes, when I get the chance,

turn towards the sunset…
and I see you again.

The fighting was inevitable,
as it had always been.
We found a weak spot, bit on, and tore.
We broke each other down.
They say that only time can heal,
But not even time can erase.
