An excerpt from Analogy of My Heart Volume 1

My Retrospect

I smiled when you told me you loved me,

I cried when you said there was no way,

I was content when you held me,

I was demanding when you said you couldn’t stay.

I sighed when you spoke of forever,

I laughed when you tried to be serious,

I was sad when you said “Goodbye forever”,

I was alone when my tears came delirious.

I spoke softly when you came back to me,

I broke my will that said not to let you stay,

I was broken hearted when I realized you couldn’t be,

I was alone when my dream went away.

My life moves on as the sands fall through the glass,

And my most joyous times you were not there.

Yet I still remember those nights that should have lasted,

Those are the days that I hold dear.
