Ashes

Teardrops.
Heart aches.
Longings.



Gone.

I say farewell to you, my short-lived bittersweet dream
Your reality must beseparate from mine
Because no matter how I tried
You never became mine.

I'm letting you go, my dear heart
Broken, you have become once again
From caring too much,
Hoping for more than there is
Only to take back in return, none.

'Tis unfortunate what has come to us, love
Once burning feelings gone as wisps in the air
Like departed lovers' whisper
For the last time, lingering.

Goodbye, my almost flame.

And as I recite these lines
You only see the smiles.

Will I ever let you go?

I wonder.
