Remember when we played with flames?
When you could make me laugh and dance?
We had so little, yet we both cared,
Our souls were seen, and food was shared,
We had our arms to hide and sleep,
To feel the safety and sometimes weep,
The feelings were too pure to tame,
We both felt something we couldn\'t name.
Yet it was wild like roaring fire,
Different needs, clashing desires,
And once they grew too much to bear,
We were struck down and overwhelmed.
It burned.
It seemed like we were getting stronger,
Every time we bent and broke,
We took our time to heal and mend,
We had the will to understand.
But then we had another battle,
And this time we were crushed and shattered,
We fell apart in thousands of pieces,
I lost my will, I could not listen,
I buried your words in layers of silence,
To save myself, to stop the violence,
I closed my eyes, covered my ears,
Pretending you\'re no longer here.
And I could live my ever-after,
Now you pierce silence with your bright laughter.
I can\'t pretend, I can\'t forget
That you\'re the best one I have met
And loved.
It\'s not
The way we should say
Goodbye.
