I remembered once
But it hurt too much
So I tucked it away
And never thought of you
It was easier to pretend
To believe you never existed
To feel my heart beating
In my chest once again
Slowly
Those footsteps in my head faded
Echoes of your parting
A distant memory
Cobwebs gather in corners
Anticipating, watching, like dusty angels
Quivering in wait
As I made my discovery
It's been three thousand, one hundred and twenty-two days
That's how long I forgot about you
Before this lost book of memories
And the 10 seconds I stood frozen
I brushed the dust from it's pages
A smile invaded my very essence
It didn't hurt like anticipated
I was ready to see you again
