The world can feel so small sometimes,
and you were the center of my world;
my emotions revolved around you,
and my heart burned to be near you.
I inscribed your name on my mind
like a permanent tattoo,
pigmenting my thoughts
with enduring shades of you.
And now that you're gone,
all I have is the memory of you-
etched but fading over time-
and the world seems even smaller.
