A Year Ago

Today, it’s been a year

That I am left with nothing

But silence from you

And I took it as a sign

That you did not want me anymore

Or even stay here

Even if I cried out so hard

To you or to myself

Saying those words over and over again

“Where did it go wrong?”

A year ago, we were smiling

Carefree and young

And in that moment, I was happy with you

And it was just us

Together forever

And now, it’s just me

You faded away in time

And I should’ve known

That someday you’d leave me

Like the way your name

Washed away in the sand

And it was only a year ago

When you were with me

And I am still here

Yearning

And waiting

For you

To come back.
