Recalling that time when you left
was a Sunday afternoon in a city
driving along a known boulevard
there was I
from the inside of the car window
looking through
The atmosphere from within was a crowd
to hear my family's arguments
slowly fade like it was some background music
it all shifted
when I thought of you

Five o'clock and everything outside was orange
cars would pass from the opposite road
and a light would strike
imagining it was your eyes sharply looking at mine
Resisting it
never have I thought nor planned
a streak of ignition
in the absence of you

Average traffic ahead
watching over the orange sunset
staring at it with awe as I felt this sudden stimulus
straight to my nerves from my phone
05: 06 - a vibration, a message from you
Started with a hello
typical it wasn't
for it moistened my eyes as I stared at the sun
and pulled me
into a void of nothingness
as I finished reading
it was goodbye

Green light
cars started moving to an extent
seeing my reflection through the window
two tears dropped as the sun was going down
From my right eye was the first
causing it to drop earlier than the other
it had the heavier pain and depth
spreading down my face
From my left eye
the next teardrop came
Those teardrops were us
but who were we
from each one of them

From dark blue to light yellow
the gradient of the sky was visible
a while to finally have thought of you
as the first teardrop who left
and the next was I
as the one who was left behind
Frigid air from the inside
dried my tears hurriedly
to look at every airplane
and make me wonder
if you were there

Recalling that time when you left
was a Sunday afternoon in a city
driving along a known boulevard
there was I
waiting for you to say
goodbye
