I know someday you will return
Weary, torn, lost, bewildered.
Your eyes deceiving your heart while you would fake a smile
For I know or maybe knew what you used to be.
The withering skin, the greying hair won't cloak your inner self,
For your heart, a radiant one can't age, can it?
You would plead, you would moan
Tears would brim, words would get lost in silence.
A deafening silence, which would choke us.
I want you to know, I know it all, I knew it all
So, please don't return if you even want to
For, no one is waiting for you.
For, the road that lead to my heart has long been trampled
And I have stopped hurting myself, I want you to know this.
For, things change and when they change, they change for good.

It was a relief, he finally seemed to take hold of his life. She could see him grow responsible. He finally it seemed was learning to love himself. Phone calls died, meetings subsided, they become known strangers. All this while ...
