it has been a while since i have heard your voice,
it has been a while since i have seen your smile,
it has been a while since i have held your hand, even for just one moment, i thought you were mine.
it has been a while since i have felt your warm breath against my cheeks, whispering sweet nothings, as i myself often do,
it has been a while since i have last said the most powerful three words that connive to break into me,
it has been a while, yes, it has been.
i thought i was forgetting you, as i busy myself with things, trivial or otherwise,
i thought i have gotten over my reminiscences of you. it has been seconds, hours, days, months, and yet, faint memories of you still linger in me, in my uncontrollable memory, in the deepest recesses of my soul.
and yet, and yet,
it is all i have: memories.
you are not here to share in this solitude,
you might have already forgotten.
it is, however, comforting to think that two people re-live memories together, and yet, dreams sometimes are meant for one person alone,
to mope
to regret
to forget
to get hurt
to feel nothing eventually, until one once again remembers,
it is a vicious cycle, you know? remembering, inescapable,
