remember how much we were in love
we wrote each other love poems like petals
letters like bouquets
remember how inseperable we were
my fingers still carrying scars from the thousand origamis I made for you
in lieu of the time you were away
remember how sad we were
when we said our goodbye
a heart broken into two
remember how much we missed each other
I filled the ocean with tears thinking of you
you followed the dictionary to explain every word of me
remember how much we hated each other
I burned all our memories into ashes
you self punished with a marriage you’ve never wanted
remember how we wanted to tell our story
to the grand children we’ve never met
here I tell the story before our memories fade
“remember how we wanted to tell our story
to the grand children we’ve never met”
So poignant and heartbreaking. It seems a right of passage for anyone willing to experience love.

Writing is such an outlet to bring closure to people and events in the past. Music just sums it up. Lyrics are poetry in many ways.

Sometimes, music and poetry are like bookmarks in our lives. They bring me back to chapters and all of the emotions that were contained there.
