There are bonds that I have broken
Bonds I subconsciously committed to
Maybe I pushed them away
When they got too close
Or maybe it was the other way around
Perhaps they found someone else
Maybe there was someone else all along
We could have just drifted apart as the clock ticked. Time aparting
Steadily I start to forget
times we spent together
Bit by bit, each memory turns against me
Every voice in me laughs at me
Yet another empty seat
In this amphitheatre
The absence of the shoulder I leaned on
Staring right at me, as I stand dumbed
But everytime I see a photograph
or a letter or the very sky we all are under
Or the text that they've just sent me
"Hey omg you look so gorgeous here"
A piece of my heart flutters
They've always been in here
In this tiny amphitheatre which they decorated with their trinkets
They never found someone else
It's just time passing by and
Moving everyone to different places
When I first saw them I must have not
Imagined they'd take such important roles
In the play I was supposed to build
But years after they've left
Their voices echo louder than ever
(Maybe that's the minimum time taken
for an echo to be heard )
These are bonds I have committed with no intentions of ever committing
that have carved themselves into my journals
And when I'm not busy hating them for leaving
I notice how much I've grown since them
How much they helped me grow
When all they did was move elsewhere
Their absence haunted me
So much so that it doesn't haunt anymore
There are bonds I thought I broke
But I didn't.
They come back to life everytime I think of them
