this is a reminder to myself
that all the lovers who have once set my lungs on fire
and left me heaving silently from a broken heart,
barely cross my mind anymore
that there will be others to come
just as the ones before have left.
the waves will keep crashing into the shores
just as loud and just as hard,
until someday it stops
and when that last wave comes
and eventually goes,
i'd recall all the people who had once been most important to me
i'd recite them chronologically,
like a list in my mind
i'd write about the people we were back then
and i'd write even more about who we could have been.
i'd etch them -
pen to paper,
songs to playlists,
an ending to a forever.
this way, i'd remember our story for the both of us
and by then, i would have learnt that
sometimes when you're too careful,
it turns into a different kind of carelessness
but nonetheless,
we cross our bridges when we come to them
and leave them behind - patiently and intricately,
in hopes that it'll finally set us free
i hope all the love i've given to the wrong people
will eventually find its way back to me
