they say love
is eternal,
once you fall into
this bottomless pit,
you keep falling
endlessly,
somewhere
at the edge
of eternity,
I caught a glimpse
of the bottom,
of this
bottomless pit,
and fell out of it,
entering a world
that was familiar,
yet different
from the one
I knew.
all those
heated embraces
shared between us
no longer had
the same warmth,
all those
seductive glances
we exchanged
no longer had
the same spark,
I no longer felt
my cheeks turn red
every time
our fingers
touched coyly,
but intentionally
during long walks
along the beach
at sunset.
in this loveless
new world,
the kindness
and
romantic gestures
remained,
but the romance
was gone.
yet strangely,
despite it being
so beautiful
in my memories,
I don't think
I want to fall back
into that
bottomless pit
again,
for even in this
loveless world,
I have found
my place.
I'm happy
where I am.
what changed?
I wonder.
