Two years and just like that
in my head, I am still a child.
I often wonder if I can miss
something that was never truly mine.And in my dreams too, I still see myself
a child; merely fifteen,
running through the halls,
just like the girl I was meant to be,
still in my old house.I left it two years ago,
yet the bitter taste of forgotten love
lies on the tip of my tongue.
I taste sweetness in it too;
all that never was,
but all that could have been.My new house is so different,
so unfamiliar.
And the ghosts I left behind
don't turn to haunt me anymore
(is this the beauty of this forgotten love?)Two years, and just like that,
in my head I still reside there.
And I wonder and I wonder,
how could I ever miss something
that was never truly mine?
