Where Our Roads Begin

You are still the one.

And it's been almost a year now.

But what can time do to a feeling so strong?

We stumbled through our final days,

And I was hoping we'd make it.

I pictured walking down the aisle

Whispering, "Looks like we made it".

I was waiting for you before the 15th.

Then I rescheduled for a few months later.

Then I said I was done waiting, and I moved on.

But who was I lying to? I got used to living without you,

Sadly, I never stopped belonging to you.

I told others, “I’m fine.”

But every quiet night,

Your name kept echoing in my mind.

I danced with strangers whom I didn’t know.

I kissed lips that didn’t taste like truth.

And every time I turned away,

I was hoping I’d turn into you.

We might’ve taken different roads,

But I never stopped checking if yours led back to me.

Because no matter how far we’ve run,

You’re still the one I want for life.
