Many
Many sunsets have died
Since then, my dear.
Are you still the same one
I knew once from way back when?
No
I don't suppose you are
You never were the kind
To always stay stagnant,
Stuck in one place.
I expect you've grown up by now
Maybe changed your outlook on life.
I know I probably had
Something to do with that.
But I'll never get to apologize.
Where do you live now?
I heard you headed down south
After the summer.
Would I be able to recognize you
If I saw you again?
I still recall the little beach house you had
And all the love that happened those years.
Are you laughing with someone else right now,
The same way you did with me?
I wonder if our initials are still there
Carved beside the door,
Or have you sanded them smooth?
Maybe the place even has a new owner.
That seashell you gave me,
The only thing I didn't send back,
Sits in a drawer these days, gathering dust.
Can't really bear to keep it,
But I can't bring myself to throw it out.
It still pains me to think
That if I hadn't left you behind
We might've had a family by now.
I hope your future kids will end up
With a better mother than I could've been
If you ever tell my story
And how I hurt you at the end
They can feel free to hate me
I won't mind
I know I deserve it.
