Last Good Byes are always the heaviest,
they say.
Remember you asked me,
Your tone soft, mellow and curious
'You'll come back, right?'
I wasn't going to
But I promised a lie.
And you called and called,
Voicemails; your only loyal companion
Voicemails; the only evidence that you are okay
Remember our favorite word?
'affinity'
What happened to our affinity?
I still toss and turn, hoping the winds are going to carry the weight of me,
From here to where you breathe.
My bones; hollow as a pin pricked egg
My teeth; a beautiful wreck, eroded
My tongue, distasteful and sour from all the poison the unsaid words left
My mind; a mausoleum for the dead
My thoughts bite down on me, forever more
Strong, brutal and lovingly painful
And I swear if I could re-write fate,
Honey, I'd redefine our affinity,
as infinity..

Duyên is defined as predestined affinity; a force that binds two people together as friends/lovers in the future.
You can dedicate this to the love of your life or your friend or anyone who you left in the past and still hope to get a chance to see them again, only to hold them tight and never let them go.
Please, vote if you enjoyed. Much love
