I can still feel the way you held my hand and told me it would all be okay. It wasn’t. I can still taste the sting of the last time you told me this love was forever. It wasn’t. I can still picture your eyes looking at your phone as you told me it was no one. It wasn’t. I can still hear your voice telling me I was e v e r y t h i n g to you. I wasn’t. I can still hear the banging of the drums in my heart as I told you I was done this time and you thought I was joking. I wasn’t.
