I still remember the knots in my stomach
when I turned the key for the first time.
A sense of relief flooded my mind.
You walked in behind me and somehow it felt like home.
I thought it would be forever.
Until forever was something we didn't know.
I don't remember laughter in the background.
Still, I keep on looking back now.
I can't recall being happy together.
I thought it would be everything we needed.
I thought it would be forever.
Now every time I have to drive in that direction,
I take a different route.
Because I thought forever-
Would be both of us together in that room.
You swore that I was wrong for years.
You twisted my reality into a game that was played with my fears.
You made me feel like I was the cause of all of our faults.
But when you left,
You left your truth.
Truth is- it wasn't me who was wrong;
It was you.
Now forever is gone
Because the only 'forever' I could see in the future,
was a forever with you.
