You see them in movies
Read about them in books
I believe in them
But I wish I had given you one
Maybe it would helped me think with my heart one last time
Maybe that would have prompted you to change
See all the things I tried to show you
Tell you all the things I wanted you to know
I couldn't in the end
I broke instead
Your mind shattered into a million pieces
Mine became numb
Time passed
Days were spent in trying to pick up all the scrambled pieces of our hearts
Nights were spent in solitude trying to make sense of flashbacks, unkind words, and loneliness
The memories remained frozen
Time could not heal everything
it helped us grow
see past our mistakes
make amends to be a better person
to someone else
I have changed
I imagine you have too
Leading a different life
With a new set of thoughts
While the heart still bleeds
For the past
For you
