Time
Often taken for granted
It always manages to pass us by
So when you could days without talking to me
I was always understanding and always on your side

I neglected both my heart and my emotional intelligence
Because love can make us blind, but I was never fully lost
Part of me could still decipher your lies from the truth
And finally, the butterflies in my stomach turned to moths

Time
What happens when the tick is no longer followed by the tock
Leaving the clock’s hands lost and misguided
But who is to blame? You? Me?
Or is it the universe itself that is at fault?

19 days
I rewrote the script in an attempt to become you
But the difference between us never fully allowed me
Unlike you, my heart was pure and my love was real
So I struggled portraying your character
Because I’m not a thief, I wasn’t meant to steal

19 days
I tried and tried to treat you the way you treated me
But the more I tried, the more I began to think
The more I thought, the more aware I became
You saw me as nothing more
Than just a pawn in your game

19 days
God knows that it wasn’t easy
For me, every single day was painful
I cried so much at first
What I had started out of spite
Only began to hurt me worse

19 days
People often say time knows no end
But for us, it did
Those 19 long days, I was slowly closing the curtains
Marking the beginning of something beautiful
A brand new chapter
Allowing me to transcend
