It feels like cheating, because I promised I wouldn’t leave, no matter the circumstances.
Even when life pulled us apart, that promise refused to die.
I built worlds that never came to be ,
Shaped futures that now haunt the silence.
It feels like cheating,
Because some moments never die.
They sink deep, like songs that haunt midnight air,
Like footprints pressed into the soil of a heart that refused to forget.
It feels like cheating,
Because loving them was never just about who they were
It was about who I became with them.
To walk away means to bury a part of myself,
To accept that some versions of ‘us’ can only survive in memories.
It feels like cheating,
Because a new smile reminds of an old one,
A new hand brushing mine finds a ghost between the fingers.
Every step forward stumbles upon a shadow left behind.
It feels like cheating,
Because no matter how much time passes,
Some connections have no expiry date.
They whisper in quiet moments, “Remember?”
