in a dimly lit room

inhalin' dawn's essence,

i lie down on my bed

reminiscing about

everything worthy

of remembrance

how the entire galaxy

was trapped inside

the silence of your eyes

when i looked into them

to find all the stars

that brought us together

how the sea waves

rolled into the layers

of your silken hair

such that i could smell

the entire ocean

when i hid my face

in their soft caress

how i found Paris

on the edge of your lips

and inhaled all of it,

an entire love story

wandering in the streets

only to get lost and

never to be found

how you have no idea

that you took away

my galaxy,

my ocean,

my Paris,

and the love story

roaming its streets

when you left me

to feel this void

...all alone

how i cannot forget

everything in the past

and still forget that

i am living in it,

the future's past

and yet,

i've forgotten it

like it doesn't exist

at all, ...at all
