Thinking about it now, I don't remember when it happened.
When I changed. When I realized I had changed.
When you saw bad in the things I thought were good.
When you stopped whispering. When I stopped listening.
I don't remember what happened.
Just like I don't remember your face anymore.


I just remember waking up one day and knowing things had changed.
I had changed. You had changed. We had both changed.
I remember waking up next to you. I remember the smell of your skin.
The way your body trembled under my touch.
The way your lips opened up when you said you loved me.
I remember knowing it.
Just like I know you're not coming back anymore.
