Darkness and Light

Chapter 53

You have forgotten,

Our chats on the dinner table,

Which lasted hours,

The random visits,

You made to catch up.

I am still here,

On that pillow car,

Blowing air in the pursuit of making steam,

You left the passenger seat,

With the door open,

And now I am freezing.

I know,

She is an angel,

But I really cannot help but blame her,

For taking you away from me.

You probably would not get me,

Nobody really does,

But I thought you came close,

You see,

You have options,

But I had only one of you.

I am happy for you,

But sometimes,

I miss you more,

The you who had time for me,

Who did not lie to me.

I deleted some of your pictures yesterday,

My finger hovered over,

The cancel button,

But I had to delete you,

To accept,

That I will never have,

A partner in crime.

The bike rides and the secret jokes,

Will forever make me smile,

Because I still love the memories,

With you gone,

That is all I have left.

I know,

This was inevitable,

It was bound to happen sometime,

Because even siblings forget each other,

But I really thought,

We were too similar to.

This is some sort of goodbye,

That I will never say to your face,

Because I know we will meet again,

As the same people,

But clear and distinct entities.

-Guess I will never have a brother.

-Oyin B.

We often lose people who are close to us to other people or other reasons.

This one is about that, the pain of losing someone and the acknowledgement of the memories you shared.

Have a blessed day!

Love,

Oyin.
