all through those years
unending, i thought
but just as how it began
i lost... i was lost.

our short exchange
of smiles we faked,
shared heartbeats,
stayed awake so late.
our "home" was on fire
and it came crashing down.
the debris scattered
all over the place,
i fell on the ground.
i burned with it.
i crashed with it.

i... alone...
because you said
you found a new home.
and i asked
what i did wrong.

silence...

so i took a deep breath
and gathered up strength
i didn't know i still had.

and i said,

"goodbye, love.
i want us to try again,
give this love a chance.
but how many chances
should we take
just for us, just for once
to work this out?
our lives changed
and so have we.
but never together,
individually.
so goodbye, love.
i'll cherish our memories.
if one day we'll see each other,
we will both be at peace."
