Tell me, what did you want
all those years ago?
Because back then,
you were all that I yearned for.
So how could I let go
of my own happiness?

What were you thinking
when we were in that cold room?
Do you have the same fantasies I still do?

In the past, you were my only memory
though I was never part of you.
What did you want all those years ago?
Tell me, what do you want now?

Those short conversations
that I could think about endlessly
are now just meaningless words out of my reach.
And you are just a bittersweet memory
adrift with my past into the sea.

so very sad, but an excellent poem.
