One,
A petal in a flower,
A thorn in a rose,
A sand in a beach,
A leaf in a tree,
A fish in an ocean,A me in this world
That was what I thought I wasUntil
Two,
You made me believe that there could be two petals,
couple of thorns,
stucked up sands,
intertwined leaves,
a school of fish,You made me believe
that the you and me
could become an usThree
It took you only three words
to take my breathe away
The "I love you
The "I miss you's
The "It's always you
The "I'm forever yoursEvery single word you said was all I believe
Four,
I fell in loveFive
Five weeks, you courted meSix
On the sixth of December, I said yesSeven
Seven months was all it lasted
Everything between us
Has come to an endEight
One week and a day
seemed to be so long for me
I cried every single night
And would find myself
waking up with red puffing eyesI cannot concentrate
Nine
The half of eighteen,
Just like how half
I am without youI was really torn apart
Ten, Eleven, Twelve,
Just like how the clock
Strikes at midnight,
It is the end
But it is also a beginning for meA new start,
A new life,
A new day without youJust then,
I found myself counting backwards
And remembering how it startedTwelve.
Eleven.
Ten.
Nine.
Until I reached the count of
Five.
Four.
And then,
Three.
Yes, three.
The "I love you"
The "I miss you"The "It's always you"
The "I'm forever yours"These. Suddenly. Disappeared.
Two,
You never mentioned that two petals could be separated,
Couple of thorns could be cut,
Stucked up sands
could be unstuck,Intertwined leaves
Could be torn apart,A school of fish
Could part their waysYou never mentioned that the "us" could become a you and me again
And now,
A tear fell as it all came back
to where I startedA petal in a flower,
A thorn in a rose,
A sand in a beach,
A leaf in a tree,
A fish in an ocean,I am all alone again
because you left
