Love Remains

In my solitude, I would think of all the ecstatic moments of ours

When I ponder, a dew rolls down my spine

I feel the shiver which tears me apart

Clinching my fist, pressing my face hard

I regret you not being the way you would be before

The promises you made to keep me unscathed in the darkest of nights

I didn't want you to be my salvager

I just wanted to grow with you from part to part

Your love left me bewitched

Terrified to the bones

Fills me with a sensation of unease, right before a fall

As today I sit under the stars, reminiscing the joys we had in our past

Then comes a cool breeze touching my skin,

Reminding me how you left me in the middle of disgrace

I created this wall but it didn't protect me from your storm

No, it's not people who we miss, the love they give is what tells us to live

We cherish the moments shared life long; loved, attracted, wanted or safe

So I've decided to not wipe out the love you gave

I'll keep it to remind myself how far I've traveled to come home to myself

Will remember the warmth your memories gave

So with a dose of tragic and a dose of magic

I'll create my own story again, for I know

People don't but love always remains.
