The words cease to reach my ears
To calm my mind, my heart.
Desperation. Anguish. Pain. Pleading…
But it means nothing. Changes nothing.
Your words have faded, vanished into nothing…
Everything feels unreal, things aren’t lining up.
The memories push it from sinking in
… it just can’t be.
… but it is?
Was everything else a lie?
Things don’t just turn like this…
Things will be right, things will be normal,
When we go back to our real lives.
I’m ready. I’ve made the transfer.
I’m here! Back to life!
But I see you everywhere.
Everything is you.
Before? My life had become you.
My life has become you.
Now the words your heart once spoke to mine are gone.
The sun has faded the “I love you”s right off my desk
Right out of your heart.
Your words are vanishing;
The memories are weakening…
My head and heart are spinning.
You, your presence, your words… fading fast.
Before we know it
The sun will take it all away;
It will all be a distant faded dream
That’s too hard to try to remember
But too haunting to forget.
And before my words vanish
I’m throwing in one last “I love you”
Which I will watch, as it too, fades into oblivion.
