EMPTY FACES AND BLANK


Dear you,

Once, you would have had a cute pet name right there. My baby, my love. But times change, people change, they become empty faces and blank names to people who were once closest to them. I've often wished this wasn't true, wished things carried on in never ending cycles, emotions changing but never fading to nothing.

And now, that little girl who fell in love with you is grown up. And she knows why it can't happen like that. She's got a future, and she is very happy. She thinks about you often, wondering how you are, where you are. But she knows she can't go back, and after all the pain she wouldn't wish to. She's promised that future to someone else now, someone who doesn't make her cry like you used to.

But she still cares for you, prays you look after yourself, prays you'll be ok. You shattered my heart on that rainy late august day, and you didn't care. I'm the girl, you said i'd always be the girl, your girl. So for them, for me, don't go shattering anyone else's.

I never knew i'd take you are the only one for me so literally.

Love, me.
