We started this together.
We agreed on this relationship without a label.
And we simply trusted each other.
You said that one day we’d be together in a sacred bond.
I believed that and held onto those words tightly.
And so this habit began —
a string of poems I wrote to capture your presence and my feelings.
And you loved them.
But then, things slowly changed.
Poems that once spoke of happiness turned somber.
Their flow followed the flow of us.
And what I feared finally happened.
You left, and I’m still here.
I still carry this feeling on,
just as I keep writing the poems I once began.
