There are times when I've sat on your bed and looked at the
mess you left around. And in those moments, I wished that you were back just
once last time, even if it was to hate me for telling you to clean it up. You
liked cleanliness but you lived so messy. I never bothered to plunge myself
into the depths of your mind because I was sure I would lose myself in the
sheer volume of emotions and information that you kept to yourself. I’d drown
without wanting to come back up for air. There are currents and waves that
would've swept me away. My turbulent mind is held back by the fragile dam
that is my mouth. Sooner or later we all break. I've kept going because I
want to be stronger than you. Just you. And you broke almost a year ago. You
weren't true. If you were, I’d never have let you go. But you gave me a
taste for what lies for me if I fall and if the ground can feel so warm and
comfortable, then I am ready to stand up and climb once more. You probably
never even think about me and that’s okay. I’m sure you don’t remember wearing
my jacket when I forced you take care of yourself. But I remember giving it
away and holding your freezing hands. I remember holding you when you cried
about an apparition that you never saw. And remember loving you and I will always
remember not being able to forget you. If I gave you all that I could, I can
give myself even more. If I was ever true to you while you lived a blasphemy,
then I shall hold myself, a prophet of love and in all my fierceness, I shall
forgive us.
