When you held the door for me
When you sat next to me on the couch
When you laughed at my jokes
When you smiled at the sound of my laughter

Those days when we were carefree
Those days when I had no idea,
how deep I would fall for you later on
Those days when the thing happened between us is just the word friend

Maybe you shouldn't have contacted me
Maybe you shouldn't have asked how I was doing
Maybe you should've left the memories alone in that cold and lonely city
Maybe you should've treated me like a stranger,
a passerby in your life story

Then maybe,
I would never remember you
Then maybe,
I would never taste the word heartbreak
Then maybe,
You would only be someone in a photograph
A passerby in my life story

But you did
You made me remember you
And you made me feel the cold pain of heartbreak
You're no longer just someone in a photograph
You're more than just a passerby in my life story

Does your heart stop for a second when you hear my name?
Just like how my heart aches every time our friends mention you
Do you remember my name?
Just like how your name still lingers at the tip of my tongue
Do you even remember me?
More than just someone you've erased from your life

Maybe, I shouldn't have replied
Maybe, I shouldn't have asked
Maybe, I shouldn't have--

Then maybe, my heart would still be whole

      No problem, if you need an ear you can find me as DependentProposal42 over on Reddit, good luck.

      @CZ2128D I believe that one day I can look back at the memories and no longer be tortured with the thoughts of them but smiling instead. Be it a regretting one with no sadness, or a relieved one. I'm trying to accept it as a part of my life's story that I have to go through. *virtual hug across the walls*

      Thank you <3

      But that’s just apathy generated from reliving the same sensation over and over again. It’s not really diluted, you just don’t feel the pain so you are numb. *virtual hug in hazmat suit* Recovering’ll probably hurt more but gambate?
