You And I

I recall our past and I predict our future

My imaginations are clearer than my memories

Perhaps our future resembles a sad song

The lyrics of a sad song are easier to remember than the lines from a happy song..

Who were you and I?

Who will we become?

I was a leaking fountain pen smiling at you, my half-filled ink bottle

I will become an overused toothbrush longing for you, my flattened out toothpaste

I was a half-bitten eraser caring for you, my uneven pencil stroke

I will become a broken lock looking out for you, my lost key

I was a punctured tire kissing you, my empty dead-end road

I will become an ineffective malware multiplying for you, my uninstalled antivirus

I was an unwilling raindrop falling for you, my hole-filled umbrella

I will become a damaged brain aching for you, my obsolete X-ray machine

I was a forced smile showing up for you, my silent teardrop

I will become a friendless childhood waiting for you, my loveless adulthood

Who were you and I?

Who will we become?

We were always meant to be together

Not for our purposes, only for our affection

But we are yet to be understood

Like a comedian's pain, like a celebrity's loneliness

Let us wait for our time

Let us wait for my predicted future

I see it clearer than our past

I will become a slow suicide uniting with you, my premature birth.
