Today is the day it all started
The day our worlds collide
The day that my heart was arrested by your beauty
In which I loved every single thing about you

Your luminous eyes that takes me to other places
Rosy cheeks that blooms whenever you smile
And time stops whenever I see you smile
Your soul that embraces your simplicity
And made me love you unconditionally

And today is the day it all started
and also the day it all ended.
You silenced us
Ruined my trust

Today is the day when you told me
You don't love me anymore
at the diner we usually dine
on a cold Wednesday morning

Remembering the dreaded words which escaped your lips,
the look on your face,
the heat on your words
As you say the most painful words.

Now that you're gone
all those years were gone in the blink of an eye
All the laughters became tears
The us became I.

But I still pray for you
The best for you
but without you is like a starless night without the moon
And still hoping for you to come back

So today I am writing to you
until I can find the words to reach you
For I made a vow to fall in love with you
every time the sun rises
And so I will wait here.
