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 was
Until
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 us
Three
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 yours
Every single word you said was all I believe
Four,
I fell in love
Five
Five weeks, you courted me
Six
On the sixth of December, I said yes
Seven
Seven months was all it lasted
Everything between us
Has come to an end
Eight
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 eyes
I cannot concentrate
Nine
The half of eighteen,
Just like how half
I am without you
I 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 me
A new start,
A new life,
A new day without you
Just then,
I found myself counting backwards
And remembering how it started
Twelve.
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 ways
You 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 started
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,
I am all alone again
because you left
