In The Silence We Remember That What We Once Were, We Are No Longer
I smile. Memories flash before my eyes.
I smile. Memories flash before my eyes.
You no longer have to apologize because I have accepted the fact that it just wasn’t meant to be.
But I’ve gotten so much better than I used to be.
I know that there will come a day when you will just be someone I used to love. I know that there will come a day when I could really say that I’ve moved on.
And I’d like to think that in another universe, we got to stay together.
Yes, I know. The voice that tells you to drift towards the bottom is stronger. But listen to the whisper. Swim. Do not drift towards the bottom.
To this day, I do not fully understand what changed. How and why we reached this point. All I know is, we did.
They call it petrichor – the smell of earth that emanates as soon as the first raindrops fall.
I used to hate the sweetness of it. But it was something tangible of you that I could hold on to.
I was scared to write about you because if I were to recall the last time I was truly happy, it was when there was a boy who was eager to read my stories. And writing about you would mean that I have accepted the fact that as soon as I finish this, you would not be able to read what I have written.
