Nothing has changed, though everything feels new
New streets, new faces, beneath skies of a different hue.
I wander through places I have never known.
Yet every road somehow leads me back to what we once called home.
Faces changed, and the old roads disappeared.
Each evening arrives, unfamiliar and austere;
Yet within the quiet chambers of my heart,
Your name remains untouched, as it was from the start.
New people came, and new connections grew.
But none could fill the emptiness I inherited from you.
You left as though love were merely a fleeting affair.
While I remained amidst memories, still breathing your air.
Time has made countless attempts to alter my mind.
To make your remembrance distant, obscure, and confined.
Yet every season passes, and somehow I find,
Your memory grows more indelible with time.
The world keeps whispering, “Let the old story end,”
But how does one abandon the heart he once called a friend?
You found a life where I no longer belong,
While I remain imprisoned in a love that lasted too long.
Perhaps someday, melancholy will loosen its hold,
And your memory will cease to feel so painfully cold.
Until then, I'll carry what I cannot undo
The bitter truth that I still belong to you.
And when every other story has faded away,
When even our memories begin to decay,
Yours shall remain the tale my heart cannot erase
A love that I lost, yet could never replace.
