In the end,

I grew tired

of waiting

for a heart

that never chose to stay.

Too many nights

were spent

searching for reasons

why your eyes

always wandered

far beyond my embrace.

Today,

I no longer wish

to win against memory.

I only hope

your name

will someday

feel like someone

I used to know,

instead of someone
I still miss.
until I can walk

the roads we once called ours

without feeling

that I've left a part of myself behind.

If it rains tomorrow,

let every drop

wash away

the promises

we could never keep.

And if I still remember you,

let it be

as someone

who once passed through my life

never again

the place

my heart longs

to return to.
