"The days are long but the years are short"

No, that's not what happened.

The years are excruciatingly long

And the days are a routine

Of waking and missing you

and then sleeping to try to forget

but in my dreams you're still there

Everything is still there

As if everything is still fine

Like before

Because everything was better before

But the years somehow passed

And those memories and feelings brought me here

In front of you

And I thought everything was fine again

You smile

You laugh

You talk about the things you did

But not like before

The hints were subtle

But my senses picked it up one by one

Slowly

Like I don't want to see the reality

And tonight I keep replaying the things you've done today

And I remembered you did not welcomed me with a warm smile

You welcomed me with a cold sigh

That felt like you were carrying a huge burden

And that burden is me

And I was welcomed by a force, fake excitement and happiness

That seemed everything that happened before was forgotten

Even though before was better

And I hope for you, not better forgotten
