I once believed in a lifetime of love —something certain, something meant to last. But in the end, it was only a delusion I held onto, a story I wrote alone, mistaking the silence we had for something real.
Smoke and ashes comes from these letters i’m burning that we never got to share with each other because we’re too afraid to ruin such connection. How can I write a thousand more when everything has slipped away?
No fairytale ending if there was no beginning — our story that was never meant to end happily because after all we did not even happen.
Is it even worth it to reminisce? How do you grieve for a love that did not even exist
— a love so invisible it wasn’t even true.
How do youstop something from collapsing when it was never built to stand?
You were my almost— the quiet “what if” that lingers on my mind everyday. You made my heart thump for joy every time and now its barely even beating.
Was it too bold of me to assume that you really liked me?
You will catch me, was it just an illusion?
a dream you made for me to believe you wanted me?
Say the word, I’ll drive in reverse, i’ll come back for you if you’d tell me to
I would spend a lifetime waiting for you — waiting for us to be true.
