Tell me why is this happening now, a while ago
I didn’t care knowing I was lost in my mind . I
knew I messed up, as his feelings at the time
didn't matter to me as far as the fading colors
of a sunset. I didn’t mean to hurt him, now
everytime I pass by a blue truck it reminds me

How I wish to go back and fix my decisions. It’s
so strange, we live in the same state, city, and
area, but why haven’t I stumbled into him, as if
the universe is trying to keep us apart. But
why? Why do I wish to see him one more time
perhaps, to tell him how sorry I am, yet thinking
about it makes my heart feel like a stone. I
wouldn't have the guts to tell him how I feel
since my feelings won’t matter.
Oh, how I wish to forget this event in my life,
memories swirl around me like autumn leaves
caught in a gust, each one was a reminder of
laughter turned into silence. Only if I wouldn’t
have ignored him, we would still be together
laughing like wind chimes in a summer breeze,
or probably drifting apart like clouds.
