The One That Got Away

To you, my dearest lover,
I only plead to say one thing
Meet me in an hour
And leave, never again.

My heart, it flutters.
My brain shuts down.
But I know I’ll never regret,
My walls crumbling down.

Hello friend, it’s been a while now.
Your presence became a routine
I’d say it’s almost weird, having you gone.
But if I’m quite honest my brain
is enjoying this short break.

You’ve left it a couple of days ago,
three to be exact, and I can’t help but think
maybe this is how it should be left.

Hello accomplice, did you hear?
The white flag is up in the sky.
The battle has stopped and
the war, it’s finally over!

And now
With the old routines, still in my head
And the battle lingering in my memory
I only have one more thing to say:

Goodbye stranger.
You’re the one that got away.
