I think
That if I were to really look back
And retrace my steps
I don’t think
That it would lead me back
To you
Why
Am I only saying this now
You ask
Better late than never
I replied
Not thinking too much about it
You got up and left
Silent as the sun gives way to the moon
Lips pressed thin and fists curled tight
Not knowing
About the reasons
I don’t plan to look back
I only said it
To get it off my chest
But also as a farewell
To what used to be
Not just for me
But also for you
Do you remember now
That one summer night
A promise between two brothers
Was all you said
But he never woke up
and you never looked back
