Your face is still vivid in my mind. Your laugh still haunts me when I close my eyes. You used to call my name in my dreams, used to reach out for me. But now I murmur your name, now I reach for you. But when I needed you the most, you turned away. When I cried for you, no tears were shed. When I begged for your return, I found myself forgetting your middle name. but as the days blurred into years, i realised it was not you I yearned for, it was our memories. Now you are back, but I no longer need you.
