I'll Keep Your Memory Vague

I still listen to the playlist you sent me. Even though every song found in there reminds me of you. And even though remembering you hurt so bad... In my life, feeling pain is just next to breathing; it happens naturally and I'm use to it. So when you left, I simply allowed questions to float. I let you go, and I watched you leave.

The moment you became part of me, you filled in a missing gap where others have chosen to surrender. It was summer when you entered into my life. You arrived during my favourite season. You were once my favourite person. And I thought I was your favourite girl. You gave my summer a special kind of bliss I never experienced before. You were my lover. But much more than that, you were my best friend. I gave you my heart - every piece of it. I gave you my mind. I offered you my soul. I gave you everything I've never given to anyone before. I presented to you the highest form of submission. I was all yours... even when you didn't deserve me.

You were my Summer Fantasy. You're still my Summer Fantasy. When you left you took a piece of me. I've given up that piece for you to toss or keep. I know I'll never be the same without you. But I'll still keep breathing. I'll breathe in spite the sudden tremors of my heart. I'll breathe because I know I can still live without you.

Summer is here again. Summer came without you. But I'll be okay. I'll keep listening to your playlist until I numb the ache. And I'll breathe until it would no longer hurt to remember.
