Relieve came
when the tears left
Future came
when the past left
Relieve came
when the tears left
Future came
when the past left
Even when there’s this distance between us
And the sense of longing to hug the other half
Words of greetings I got today
Filled with warmth just like the hug
Thank you
From the bottom of my heart
Don’t talk,
just act
Don’t say,
just show
Don’t promise,
just prove
I threw away everything
that smells like you
I erased every
trace of you
I closed every
road that leads to you
I packed all my bags.
I’m not going back.
I wish
to turn back the page
rewrite our story,
yet every plot,
no matter how I twist it,
turns back to where we are right now,
the moment when
forever
cease to exist
I retell our tales
to countless ears,
hoping strangers’ tongues
would answer the questions
my heart has been asking.
