Long-term Mentality

I still remember what you told me when we were young

Stuck in the childhood ways

Naive and afraid of the dark

These memories creep into my mind every time I see you

I try to erase them, but they still keep coming

Tried hiding all the pictures we took

Tried ignoring your texts

I also decided to love no more

Because who knows,

may be I’ll get hurt

We share the same birth date

21 is our lucky number

March is the month that brings us together

We’ve lived for two decades

Knew each other after spending a decade in this life

You were different

Didn’t follow what other girls did, that made you special

I also remember we schooled together

Ate fries during lunch time; we made it through any weather

After school, I’d come at your place

Your young bro was my best friend

I used that as a tactic to have you close

I was clever; I succeeded

What bothers me is that we are now total strangers

I’m like a passer-by to you

I didn’t see this coming

But I accept the fact that you left

We depend on the past

We are products of the past

You were my past

At the present, you suddenly forgot me

I know you burnt that T-shirt I gave you

A reminisce to that day we were rained on

Then decided to seek shelter in an old hut

Only the two of us in a single storey construction

The only noise we heard was that of the thunder

You were shivering; so I held you next to me

The conduction, a genuine heat transfer mode

Our respiratory systems overworking

My presence added a new day to your life

Beautiful memories, with beautiful lessons

A whole new beginning, is what changed my life

You added a reason to my existence

Without you in the picture, it was pretty awkward

I finally accept but still treasure the memories
