Torn apart by the littlest of mistakes
We decided to go our separate ways
No goodbyes were spoken from either one
Only farewells, maybe indicating a second chance
Amazing how fast we forgot each other
She had already found someone new in her life
Though I was determined to finish school
I never tried looking for another person
I solemnly heard from her or her friends speak of her
As the months passed to a year
It pique my curiosity for a while
But shortly after it was made clear that she left those friends.
As the end of the spring semester came to an end
Out of the blue I recalled her birthday
Though not together or friends
I thought it still be nice to give her a gift
Spent weeks prior to her birthday
Learning to make a cake from scratch
Trying to find a suitable gift,
I handcrafted a doll of her from my memory
Walking to her place, I see her in a car
She looks distraught with her boyfriend
She finally got of the car and he darted off without a care
She went inside with tears running down her cheeks
Contemplating, I walked up to her door and left the gifts
As I walked away from her place, I texted her Happy Birthday.
Upon receiving the message, she jolted outside
Only to see the cake, the doll and the card I wrote her but not me.
Though afar, we simultaneously cried a tear
She stared at what I left and covered her face
And on her left hand was a ring
All she could do was shed more tears
Walking into my living room
I grabbed the only picture of her I had
And I wiped away every tear she cried.
I crouched against the wall and I cried...
