Funny,
how certain moments feel permanent.
Not because they lasted...
but because something inside you never moved on.
You once said we were mirrors.
That no one ever held your shadows so gently.
And maybe that was true
...for a while.
Time has its own language.
It rewrites the edges.
Polishes the memories until they look like closure.
All of those moments that we shared
When did it went wrong
no more tears left
because it does not seems real anymore
You found your light.
You found your calm.
I stayed in the quiet.
Not bitter.
Not broken.
Just… still.
Some flowers bloom once and never again.
Some promises don’t need breaking to fade.
And some names...
you carry like a middle name:
not spoken,
but never removed.
They say the heart forgets in pieces.
I believe them.
But if I loved you wrong,
I hope it still made you feel whole
...for a moment.
As for me?
No, I don’t search anymore.
I just remember
how infinite we almost were.
And I smile.
Because that version of you
was real
to me.
