SO IT ENDS.

*Written on 28.2.2021.

So it ends, 

From those lovely morning texts to sleepless conversations. 

Those said sugar coated lines sweeter than the smell of spring.

That try hard romance just to get a glimpse of that distant smile and validation.

Those teeming emotions we couldn't limit ourselves with.

That October we talked till we were sober, 

of fantasies, dreams, places and things.

Those awkward silences and those shy infatuated smiles

That failed quarrels and silly anger for a while

Those buried wounds we revealed and 

that alter ego we concealed 

That pretty quarantine music, we often dozed off with.

Those follies we couldn't fix and  

That trust we couldn't reap

Those miscommunications we couldn't fix and that love we couldn't keep. 

We were eluded into falling so deep. 

What if we never fell off the cliff?

Deviated from "We could have been" to "how we would have been" 

And now, she slides gently into the arms of another.

With that faded smile and erased memory, 

cupid mocks when she kisses him, 

there's so much to remember and so little to forget 

but feelings fade and so does she.
