Years.

I am frightened at the thought of years passing by with time

And with that, I knew either way

I’d have to face the future in a few years from now

Whether I liked it or not

I’m scared that if the day comes

When I see you again

I’d be reminded of how close we used to be

And how I had given my heart away to you

But you tore it in pieces and left me

If I look into your eyes once more

I know they no longer hold any love for me

Or anything at all

And I’d be left with nothing but sadness

And a broken heart

I was just somebody you used to know

The years had made you forget about me

You removed me from your heart

Your mind erased my name and it faded

While I am still with the lingering memories

Of you and me

Of us together

How we used to laugh and smile

Not having a care in the world

And for once, even in that moment,

I thought I was happy

With you.

Though you have forgotten about me

There is still fragments of you

Left in the shards of my heart

And my mind refuses to forget you

Even when I’m trying to do so

I’m standing in front of you

Don’t you see me?

I’ve been waiting for you

Years and years

Of hoping you’d come back

And yet, when I look into your eyes

I see nothing in there

Except for the person who hurt me long ago

I could only open my mouth and whisper,

“Why?”
