A Small Piece of You Lives

did you think leaving me would break me? i wasn’t broken. a soul is allowed to get that much heated only once in a life time Was i hurt? of course! however, i prepared for it. you were never mine in the first place, just too many things reminding me of you, most i can never let go of. you gave me a piece that put my writer’s block to sleep that peach and passion fruit tea makes me feel rejuvenated. the chocolates? i eat them whenever i get bored. i still look at the empty christmas box the only physical christmas gift i’ve gotten, doesn't match the rice my grandma makes on that day though. The versace perfume? i’ll spray it when i want to feel you close to me. the song we shared? it makes me smile and dance still. what do I do with troijaan and Kk.Y you left in my dressing locker? you gave me a name that would make me think of you forever. The way we made love was intense and I hoped there wouldn’t be a living mark left behind because I'd be forced to send it back. i'm sad you left, I'm sad I left, but instead of feeling bad, i'm letting those good memories Bring the best out of me. from this day onwards i’ll turn my pain into pen, my hurts into hard work, i won’t cry myself to sleep or remember the words you said I never believed them anyway. because you were a tree with branches that needed to harness. i’ll write every beat of how i feel instead, it’s okay to cry right? that’s how i can heal. i’m human and i’ll miss you it’s not hurting so much though, cause i knew this time would surface just didn’t know it would be this soon. i chose you from the start i just wanted to be satisfied and let go. I didn’t want nothing more but you did show me a little more So I stayed a little longer. i’ll cherish the fun times you made me smile the bad moments? i won’t let them ruin it. one of the best year i had. spent 2 fighting like cats & dogs we were both weird so I thought we didn’t fit. you said otherwise I Agreed! i didn't understand the conflict of interest you meant but i’m sure it was just a means. i understand hunny! i’m used to detachment so i'm good. be happy! my pride won’t let me text you so i'm storing it here.
