Forever ago

You ran away from me.

From the distance

you contemplate

what you’ve missed.

I failed to keep

the etiquette.

You punished me,

you escaped.

If I want to call,

I call.

If I want to write,

I write.

Now, from the distance,

I watch you,

you watch me.

We’re islands

forever apart.

We’re both lonely,

we’re both sad.

Forever ago,

we were close.

Forever ago,

we were in love.

But I failed,

how I failed,

forever ago,

forever ago.
