10th of December

On the tenth of December, warm smiles intertwine,

Bodies collide, we kiss, we laugh, we play our part so fine.

In the car, we drive afar, back to separate lives,

Worlds apart, my favourite roses, a gift for our hearts thrives.

The night we adored, excitement and fear entwined,

Nervous and scared, yet in this life, never felt safer, we find.

A single plate, shared bites, laughs, and cries,

Tears held at bay until you left, alone with goodbyes.

Now the petals fall, once vibrant, now torn,

Scents of safety, warmth that embraced, a memory worn.

Left behind, a cold scar, as we ventured afar,

Tears in my eyes, tired of begging for more, understanding fate's bizarre.

Our little bubble, a world for a few fleeting hours,

Now falling apart, crumbling like delicate flowers.

Yet, I knew this would happen from the very start,

As we part ways, taking it all in stride, breaking my heart.

This is the end, or is there more to endure?

A certainty of end, together but apart, we secure.

Recalling the love I poured, the care you bestowed,

Yet, I was a child, for you let me be, they say I'm too mature, I suppose.

Goals we set, the year ends, friends we remain,

But do friends remember each other's scents, a lingering refrain?

Fate, remorseless, separates our core,

Gently we part, slow and steady, separation anxiety, a feeling I abhor.

But you were never mine from the start,

A bittersweet journey, tearing us apart.

As we part ways, taking it all in stride,

Forever etched in memory, a love that couldn't abide.
