"I fear the day that you would knock when I am finally in someone's home."

Perhaps it is so much to ask,
probably impossible,
possibly it would not be  —

for you to be mine again;
your smile because of me,
your hand touching mine;
eyes to eyes
without nothing to say
but for us to stay

what were once,
what were to be,
if given a chance.

And if there is nothing left for us
to turn into ash,
I would burn all the bridges  —
the paths that connected our hearts.
I would wreck all the walls that we built
for our securities
that turned into a haunting prison  —
a dungeon of insecurities.

I would forget you  —

but for now,

let me try to save the single spark;
let me dry the last drop of tears,
if there is something to be burnt  —
lest we regret for years,
that is what I forever fear.
