Each night,
      silence is a fan
      an avid reader
      of untold stories
      from my unmade book.

My book
     are all about us
     when there's you and I
     but now,
     it's her beside you.
    
    
I think about you—
    a lot
    but I know it's just me
    scribbling our past
    You're now a character
    of someone else's
    book.

Somewhere in the past,
     I was your definition
     of love
     but now I'm afraid,
     I don't matter at all.
    

I can't obliged you
    to remember
    Just let me
    borrow you forever
    to be my main character.

Let me continue
    our story together
    in pages and chapters
    Feel free to flip
    the book cover
    If you and her
    were getting colder.
