*All romances deserve a happy ending...
every single one, no exception — even the cheesiest of endings,
the dumbest and worst-written,
the weakest link and the strongest bond.
Too bad that sometimes
some romances end with...
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay..."
"I'll miss you..."
"Goodbye..."
That's why I hate writing love poems...
they are pure pain.
To see eyes shining and then hear a goodbye —
what cruelty in mere words...
That look, unforgettable;
that hug that never stopped being safe and calm;
that dream I shared with you about love;
those tastes we had in common;
that smile at my most stupid jokes;
that gesture of love you never noticed...
each one among the hundreds of my poems that make me cry today...
They were too beautiful.
The good thing is that I immortalized you,
we immortalized ourselves.
In every writing you are there;
I look for you in every corner of my world.
You were, for a time, my reason to live,
the most beautiful dream I ever dreamed,
the loveliest poem I ever wrote,
the sweetest person I ever spoke to,
the calmest, most inviting love
I dared to let into my chest.
You were everything
for a brief moment —
everything:
the color of the world,
the sound of the world,
the grace in images,
my calming pill,
my anesthesia for this senseless pain.
And now?
I want to know where to go without you,
but I realized I got lost in you —
and you... you got lost from me.
In the romance we wrote together,
your last line was
"I'm sorry..."
and mine was
"I love you."*
