The day, we said goodbye,

Why you'd had to be so breath-takingly beautiful?

A calmer you,

A sadder you,

Browns of your eyes' blurred,

By the brimming salty tears,

Why?

Why was I mesmerised?

Instead of being drowned,

Bubbling gasps of air into the sea of sorrows, why?

A death and a rebirth,

A price I had to pay,

For a normalcy,

With a blurry memory of your smile,

I cheat myself to hope,

That pretty stretch across your lips,

Still lives.
