"Forgetting those years"

 "Forgetting those years"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

It was never going to be a different place

It was never just the different face

Obliterating any reality that you were in it

Was just a matter of my days

II

But I kept seeking that smile of yours

And all it gave me was utter misery

I still could not understand while standing still

How so little of you could make me feel

III

Just ending things may not have been best

but we shook hands on it and parted ways

Acceptance was something we could both live with

So why don't I feel alive while I am here?
