It was a Saturday,
the 16th i guess.
The last time
you held me in your arms
so safe and sound
like you wouldn't let go
Even if the strongest force on earth
Were to try and part us
As you gently stroked
The curls of my freshly washed hair
watching the summer zephyr fly by
As we dawdled around
One last time
Until the next last time
Waiting for the rain to bless us
With all those memories again
that were now etched in
those paths we used to travel upon.
And like all the previous farewells,
You said your bit once again
And i shed a tear or two
as we both said our saccharine goodbyes
And i forgot to gift you your letter away
The one i had handcrafted
to be one of the souvenirs
of our little rendezvous we had from time to time,
unaware, that that may be the last one ever.

It was a Saturday,
The 16th i guess.
A year had passed by
And your name still came out of my mouth
Like the sweetest honey dripping out
While i mindlessly shared conversations about you
To the strangers out there in the wild
as they told me to stop loving you,
that i could only love so much
till it consumes me
In its unfair nature.
But oh darling,
If you only knew
It was your love that kept me going
On the most difficult of my days,
As i stared at that letter i never gave you
Long enough for your ghost
to come by and soothe me
with a voice so tranquil
One so similar to yours.
And oh darling ,
If you only knew
That i looked for your love
in our hackneyed texts
And your one word replies
a love that never existed
But seemed so real to me
That it became a drug
I would devour
every second of every day.

It’s a Saturday.
Saturday the 16th.
It has been 2 years
since i have last thought about
Your pearl like pretty eyes
and a smile so warm-
Just Like those homemade brownies
I used to bake for myself
Every time you left me heartbroken
As i ate away the pain
Till I could eat no more.
And oh darling,
It’s time i finally tell you
That today is the last time
I Ever think about you,
That you no longer remain my idol
The one i looked up to for love
Because i’ve found someone better,
And that better is me.
So now i say my final goodbyes
As i remove you
from my ‘favourites’ list
And block your number
So i'm not constantly reminded
Of what could've been
And write out my future,
Of what it will be,
Without you.

- happy
