Seasons change but I loved it when the flames between us were still in the summer,
I guess Love is genuinely blind coz I never realized till you were gone that you only came to me when you were in pain and needed a shoulder to lean on, then after everything has sobered up, you always went silent on me,
But you always came back but this time it was different, the silent was deafening and I couldn't find ways to break the silent just because I was lost in the brokenness that you had left behind,
News that you had died around the same time you went missing on me hit me harder than the pieces you broke in me,
It opened each and every wound and cut deeper than before,
The reality hit me up with guilt, blame and questions only you could answer but you were gone,
Why didn't you tell me what was hurting you?
May be I would have helped you,
Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I find a way to break the silence,
Why didn't I look for you?
Why?
Why?
May be if I did all that I could have saved you,
May be you could have never died if I had reached out,
But why,
Its hard for me to say May your soul rest in peace coz I can never be at peace with myself for not trying, not ever,
R.I.P LOVE🌼
