It's been how long now?
Since the birds stopped singing?
Since the sky stopped smiling?

Five years.

Five times around the Earth,
Five rounds of seasons,
and 1825 days.

I've forgotten your voice
I've forgotten your hugs.
I have forgotten everything.
Even when I swore I would always remember.

I've tried to fill the whole you left in my heart with so many things.
Boys, hatred, rage, anger, everything.

But it's still there.
A constant feeling of emptiness.
A feeling of something missing.

How long until I can see you again?
How long till it stops hurting?

It's been five years.
And I still cry at your name.
