When the pain goes away,
Then we’ll start a new day
Should I wake up from this dream?
Or just except everything as it seems?
Are the memories distant yet?
Haven’t we already met?
It seems like we’re right back at the start,
The part where we both had a heart.
Can you fast forward please?

My heart, you’ve lost the keys?
This doesn’t seem new,
It’s always what you do.
Days after we met?, where did you say we were?
Are those smiles I see upon our faces?, Wasn’t this all before her?
Look, we’re becoming distant.
Isn’t that what you insisted?
Are those the hallways I see?
Is that you with me?
Hand in hand you say?
This wasn’t recent; it was when everything was made.
Oh look, our first kiss
It was so sudden, we both nearly missed
I recognize our secret night
When everything seemed just right
My heart was pounding so hard
And I could hear yours from afar
Your hands were so warm
I thought I’d melt away in your embrace; it was like a sudden swarm
I dissolved in your eyes that night,
When I let go, I still didn’t feel just right
I left my heart in your eyes that moment
Everything I had left, every single last component
I’m starting to tear up, please fast forward

Months later you say? Is everything in order?
Oh look, you moved away
Don’t you see my tears, running away day by day?
This is the part where she shows up, isn’t it?
I wasn’t there that day, but I felt it like a sudden hit.
Oh look, this is where we suddenly drifted apart,
Isn’t this where you decided we should all get a new start?
I hate the ending myself; isn’t this your favorite scene?
Look it’s coming up, this is the hardest part to watch it seems
There goes my heart, shattered and scattered around
There goes that distant look in your eyes, as you look at me for the last time; hardly making a sound
So that was our story? You say?
Never the fairytale ending, like at the beginning of May
No, please don’t turn it back on,
I couldn’t bear going through those emotions, seeing the perfect con

Yes, I still remember, don’t you?
Wait, what’s your name again?
Who?

— The End —
