A Safe Place Inside My Head

That September Day

countless memories now fading
into oblivion
as I stare into your eyes
and see how they reflect mine
filled with emotions
we cannot even name
maybe grief or longing
maybe pain for a thing we even saw coming

for a moment in time
we thought we were invincible
that the walls we built around us
are the safest we can ever be,
that we were the against all odds
kind of people
and that no wave can crash this connection
within us

but fate played a trick on us
and made us let go for a reason
it's when we realized that the reds and yellows
were slowly replaced by black and blue
and the sweet symphony of our glorious days
is now a hollow melancholic remnant
of a love once celebrated

and as the wind peacefully blew
on a beaming day on September
here I am with you,
with your back underneath the sun,
as I try to swallow the lump on my throat
and halt the sting in my eyes
I tried to hope for the very last time
to see you again in a better circumstance
I hope to bump on you once again
on a busy street, on a subway,
on that tree along the countryside
or across our favorite café in the middle of the city
until then, remember I loved you still and will always be
but if that one day never comes
I hope we can at least meet again as strangers
with shared memories and a never forgotten past
two lonely souls but with brand new eyes
and healed hearts

- that September day ✨
