Guilt ran through her body,
        as she continued to blame herself,
        for a love she gave, and did not receive,
        she wanted to keep him,
        but he was not hers to keep.

Her thoughts, filled with nostalgia,
        and her heart screamed in pain,
        she gave her love on a piece of paper,
        until nothing else remained.

Barren eyes, bleak and lifeless,
         in the end,
         that’s how he left me,
         feet half buried into the ground,
         breathing in the pain,
         while drowning in his silence.

Forever does not always mean forever,
does it?
sometimes it could mean hello,
or goodbye,
or someone daydreaming,
it could mean staring into your eyes,
or you look lovely,
or someone kissing your forehead,
it could mean grasping each other’s hands
and never letting go,
or sometimes, forever could simply mean
you or me,
sometimes if we’re lucky,
it could mean, us.

I don't know why I got too attached,
it's not your fault.

Clearly, it is mine.

You don't owe me anything.

Tears dry on their own.

Trust me,
I'll be okay.
