It was a dark day
I was overthinking again,
I thought I had it in control
but then you showed up
in front of me
everything else froze.
I only felt your breath
Saw only the lights in your eyes,
There was no one else just you
and your eyes and
the darkness of my heart inside.
I saw you give me a look
An acknowledgment huh?
Or was it just in my brain
overthinking again?
You went inside
soon the world faded
back into the picture;
I felt like I had lost you
again, all over again.
The pictures of us started
playing in front of my eyes,
It had been one year
Or was it just one second?
The same October 8th;
Remind me when you left
for I am too sad to see it happen again.
I felt at a stop,
my breathing tricked me
into feeling like death was approaching.
Then I started shivering
It felt like it was the end of this world
everything was done,
but the pain seemed like it would never go.
It had been a few hours,
felt like a million as I came back to life,
I shook my head.. thought,
huh, what just happened today?
I reach for my purse
it was a cold winter day
I leave my phone and go inside.
Inside the lunch, the only one on this road
The one in which you went inside today
I picked up my seat at the bus,
You must have seen me
or maybe it was me overthinking again.
But then you walked towards me
I went still all over again,
"Hi, you say" with a sly on your face,
Our shoulders shrugged together,
that's when I realize your breath again
and those eyes, those eyes
I made them bleed that day.
