It’s 3am and i’m whispering Your name.
You are still my muse.
When i don’t know what to write i turn to You.
You are my fountain of youth; You replenish me.
i’ll never forget what being in love with You felt like
not even after i fall in love with someone else
like You did.
You needed me like i needed You,
Momentarily. Yet, like
everything,
it all came to an
end.
And You
drifted
away from
me.
i coiled up to where we used to lie on a borrowed bed and wondered,
why?
Why’d i choose to push You away? Why did i think You’d still be waiting for me after leaving?
Of course, You’d leave.
i try learning how to exist
without You.
Yet, I still search for You in everyone else.
i miss You.
But i’m repeating in my head that i can grow
without You and i will like
who i am in the end of this. Maybe what i did
saved me from relying on someone else
for happiness. Maybe being alone with just me
and my depression will help me leave the grey behind
I no longer search for you in everyone else.
I still don’t like my definition of /mē/
But I will get there as you did.
Thank You.
