leaving you alone
was the hardest thing i’d ever had to do
when i saw your name
or heard your voice
i remembered all the memories
we shared
all the looks across rooms
all the inside jokes
all the times we got caught
just looking
just looking
it’s almost comedic
the energy was pure
but the innocence nonexistent
our eyes deceived them
they believed them
but we failed to trust
we lost that spark, that flame, that fire
forever? we may never know
that’s where failure introduces itself to opportunity.
in the chances not taken.
