I recall what you whispered in my ear.
It has been twenty five years since then.
Our heartbreaks brought us together and we fell in love.
You pledged that I will always be yours.
I know I have made so many mistakes.
All of my missteps led me straight to you.
I am aware that you do not recall these sad memories.
Your actions have caused me pain.

I want to forget those mistakes now.
And love you again,
The twilight era seems to be ending.
And our eyes will be closed for eternity.
At times, I desire to rewind the time.
And rekindle our love and dreams.
But you have continued to disappoint me.
I have seen all the secret messages sent at night.
I noticed your absence when I called in.

My friends have voiced their disapproval.
Of our acidic relationship and mistrust,
I am unable to leave you alone now.
Love has wreaked havoc on me.
So many times, and I have lost count.
I have made many attempts to repair our intimacy.
Your disappearances in the icy air have left my heart aching.
The sun has once again cast a shadow on my dreams.
It's time to move on and seek happiness.
