𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝?

You remember the time,
We used to walk hand in hand,
When we had a "forever",
When we were in "love"?

Remember that time, do you?
We were lovesick fools,
Unaware of what our worst enemy,
Time had in store for us

It's funny isn't it?
We're all time travellers, are we not?
Constantly travelling through time,
Or is it time travelling through us?

People say time is the best healer,
But isn't it the source of pain in the first place?
Isn't time the worst tragedy too?
It takes everything with it

I thought I had forgotten you,
As people say, "moved on",
But when I saw you after three years,
Everything that I had buried came to life

I was a mess again,
I was YOUR mess again,
I was a mess because of you, AGAIN,
I thought we still had those sparks

I thought you might give me a second chance,
And give US a second chance,
I thought that nothing had changed,
I still believed in the possibility of US

But not after I saw how happy you were,
With HER,
This is what I was scared of always,
Isn't it?

She's all I'm always insecure about,
I was scared-afraid even,
That she we would make you happier,
Than I ever did

Maybe, you "moved on",
I should too,
But I couldn't let go of you,
Not yet

I ran back to you,
What if an "us" was still possible?
What if you still "loved" me?
Delusional? Very

We made an eye- contact, after years,
Three years eight months and one day to be exact,
I wanted to say something, anything,
But I just couldn't

My tears conveyed all that I wanted to say,
How much I missed you,
Did I blink?
Not even once

I just kept looking at my world- YOU,
Your eyes had lost their warmth,
They had lost their shine,
But they were still YOUR eyes

I still couldn't speak,
"What has time changed?",
My eyes seemed to ask,
"Everything", your eyes flashed

Summary-
This poem is about time. Yes, just time. Okay, maybe not. Maybe a relationship that time crushed with it's cruel foot like it was some petty insect. I really love the last stanza of this poem. I couldn't make it rhyme this time, but it still expresses what I wanted to say through this poem. And yesss, I updated twice a week 'cause I had my summer vacations and I wrote 3 poems all at once so- don't expect an update anytime soon hehe-
