HEAL ME, BREAK ME

A LETTER TO MY FIRST LOVE

A LETTER TO MY FIRST LOVE

Old memories that have been buried years ago,
Now lost in your love, asking myself where to go,
Should I just move forward and leave everything behind?
Or carry the baggage, wounds, and sorrow, pretending to be blind?

It has been ages ago when we parted ways,
I keep telling myself not to look back and just follow my rays,
Should I have followed you back then,
Hugged you tight and borrowed your shoulder for me to lean?

Following our footsteps,
Seeking memories for keeps,
Your silhouette is still haunting me when you leave,
Please stay still, I promise I'll be brave,

I still keep wondering why people mastered the art of leaving,
Please don't go, I'm begging,
We met certain people for a reason,
Hope to live on the same roof with you soon,

More than decades had passed,
But here I am, still, drown with the memories of our past,
This time, can you stay?
Stay close where we lay,

I may not be vocal in terms of expressing what I want to say,
But please do remember, I have always wanted you to stay,
Thank you for existing,
Because of you, there is me.
