365 Days Without You

today marks a full year since we stopped talking

a year without any messages, calls, or any sign from you

i once thought time would erase the memory of you

but some people are not forgotten that easily

not because they were special

but because they left wounds that take time to heal

at first I remembered you with a smile

i missed our conversations and the moments we shared

i thought everything you told me was true

i trusted you without thinking twice

but as time passed, I realized how wrong I was

i realized the person I held in my heart

was not the person you truly were

today I no longer remember you with the same love

today I remember you as the person who broke my trust

as the person who promised so much, yet kept almost nothing

maybe your leaving wasn’t the most painful part

the most painful part was discovering you were different

from who you pretended to be

after a year I still think about you sometimes

but not with tears in my eyes or hope in my heart

now I remember you only as a lesson that cost me a lot

a lesson that taught me not every beautiful word is sincere

and not everyone who promises to stay actually stays.
