Just One Day

You used to say

“We’ve been through this,

I said I wouldn’t leave you then

I wouldn’t leave you now.”

I felt like a collapsing building

While you were a pillar holding me up

I remember the times when

We would talk all day and all night

Soon you started to ignore me

All my messages

And calls in the hallway

And then

You were gone

Off with her

The one who hurt you before

The moment of realization hit me

Like a slap to the soul

You made me feel special

Even when I’m not

And you made me feel like I deserved you

When I most definitely don’t

And when I thought this I knew that

One day you would leave

I just didn’t think it would be today

We broke off our connections

The only interactions we had

Were the awkward hall passing

And one night as I was thinking

And I decided to message you

“We were like a puzzle

Losing a piece day by day

The pieces that were kept

Please hold them tightly and never forget

Let's find our own shapes

Even if we're not putting them together”

Only soon to realize

Our promises

Our memories

Were nothing but a bubble

To be popped

So you can have more memories with her
