I wanted to be far away
So you could never see me
But when the distance widened
And the pain didn’t heal
After the time passed
The memories were still real
I realized,
I was a fragment of your story
A ripple in the sea
And so you caught my entire pane,
And ripped it away from me.
After all this time, it seems
You were the hurricane
Who brought me all this pain.
