Someone told him
"If it's meant to be, set her free. She'll come back to you"
So he waited.

Someone told her
"If it was meant to be, he'd never have let go"
So she moved on.

My love for you:
it was indescribable,
it was incomparable,
it was Qualia.

Now we're separated.
the price I now pay.
hidden in the fine print.
it is Qualia.

Grief and Love,
it's a bargained deal.
impossible to put into words.
it is Qualia.

I said "I love you more"
You laughed and said "No, I do".
I won, but I lost.

I said "I'd be here forever"
You smiled and said "You'd be the one to leave"
I won, but I lost.

I said "I'll never leave you"
You glanced at me and said "One day you'll tire of me"
I won, but I lost.

I won, but I lost you.

When we were born,
we were afraid of the unknown.
The monsters, ghosts, and creatures.

We grew up.

As children we imagined
and believed in the fantastical,
The pixies, wizards, and dragons.

We grew up.

As teenagers we found connection
and believed in the supernatural
The demons, devils, and angels

I grew up.

And you continue believing in
demons, devils, and angels.

Months pass, not a text from you.
Notifications long since dried up
But somehow you're always on my mind.

I have nothing that belongs to you.
Long removed those photos on my phone
Yet, you're always on my mind.

Not one reminder left behind.
Except a broken and hollowed heart.
And somehow you're always on my mind.

Just an empty soul, wishing for more.
hoping that one day, maybe decades away.
you won't only be in my mind.

It's been 7 months...
How come I sit here and wait
for something thats never going to happen?
