Once upon a time

 I used to be with my device telling you to come home fast. 

Because there was this definition that we had that made you occupy ever space in my heart, such that inadequacies had no gaps.

Hence we made each other’s better half, because two was designed to be one. 

And one day we woke up and there was no us, because there were some spaces that had gaps that we never touched. 

I thought that a perfect equation meant that in your flaws, I could cover up. 

But we forgot to communicate the things that defiled us. 

For all the spaces we were thinking would define us, one day came and they never mattered to us.

And the times that I used to wake up to look at your face, it faded away. 

And I realized there were empty spaces that we hid for so long, so much that they came to overcome what we had going on. Somehow, I settled my spirit in yours, asking that you showed up so we could talk. 

But there wasn’t anything than holding you close in the flaws of our before. 

And it’s been 3 years or more, and I can never be opened to something that’s similar to love. 

Because you took a part of me with you.

And I am looking for you in everyone else. 

Somehow I like to think there is someone like you, but I have lied way too much; there is only one you. 

And I am hoping that tomorrow would be different, that I would my chance and try something. 

So, once upon a time would let go of the pieces of you.
