I want to forget you,
but your memory seems to have found
its only home within my mind,
breathing there,
living there still.
The things you once said
still lie beside me
in the nights when I try to rest,
like a letter
never sent,
yet never thrown away.
Our love was simple.
Quiet togetherness.
Smiles exchanged in the air
that made everything feel lighter,
easier to breathe.
Time keeps flying.
That is truth.
Our love moved with it.
Yet some moments refuse to leave,
especially the ones
when you said my name,
my heart fell open.
Is it true
that distance dries the love between two souls?
It is a lie.
Like salt in the sea,
the taste remains,
then and now.
Everything looks normal in me.
I face each day.
I join the crowd.
I laugh with friends.
But it is still your words
and your touch
that make something bloom
inside me.
If you came today,
smiling at my door,
even if you could not stay,
do not worry.
I will not demand forever
or force promises from you.
I ask only one thing.
Say my name once more,
the way you did
when it still meant home.
