With this vast world we live in,
nothing seems to last forever.
Countless people come to and fro,
but only few have given me shelter.
It was you who first stepped in,
made me feel things I never knew would matter.
Back then you were the stars to my dark sky,
thank you for making it brighter.
You were the first to ever look past my flaws,
and embraced me in your arms tighter and tighter.
The first to love me as someone special,
and the first to let me experience such closure.
You were a knight in shining armor,
you were my knight and at the same time my armor.
But then, slowly and slowly, you began backing down,
and rust seem to slowly and slowly engulf the armor.
You showed me your love in sweet small ways,
but as time passed they turned smaller and smaller.
Such sweet simple gestures turned so small that even my heart,
it cannot feel them any longer.
Throughout the time we've been side by side,
only few memories were shared from one to the other.
But my mind and heart cannot lie,
that I am grateful for all the times we were together.
An us may no longer be,
but I know this is for the betterment and sake of each other.
With us now in our separate ways,
there is now room for growing and flourishing in the future.
Words cannot fathom enough how I am thankful,
for the little infinity we've had together.
Within numbered days you have had given me forever,
and for that I am truly grateful.
