Did I have to leave?
Did I leave questions unanswered?
Was it wrong for me to leave untethered to your bond?
I love you and always will
Though my heart is tattered and cynical, I still await the sun
The same way you have sat on your hands
Waiting for the world to pass you by
Waiting for every embrace to feel the way it should
Not the way it did.
I did not want to be the runner-up
In your oppression Olympics
As I trod lightly over eggshells
Succumbing to second place in your self-fulfilled prophecies
The truth is
We can’t go back to memory lane
We both end up in different places
With fingers in our faces
Every trace of who we used to be slowly fading into thin air
Slowly fading until we’ve become just a concept
A memory, a thought, a bad dream
But I
I will always love you
