Five years from now, I can see myself waking up in the morning without having to curl up my body on rumpled sheets to feel the traces you have left.
I can see myself standing up from my bed, making a cup of my coffee but this time, it will no longer black.
I will be up, and I will see myself dancing over songs I once turned off as I am reminded by how we swayed along its rhythms and nasty bass lines.
I can see myself, writing a hundred and more poems but it will no longer be about the glamour of your eyes and the magic that was being casted upon your smile.
I can mess around the room with my reckless self that you once turned down, and I will be once again watering the daisies on my windowpanes that were long stale and dry.
I can see myself, laughing so genuinely that I can feel my heart jumping on every step that I take and I will be roaming around the streets without having to stop on lamp posts to reminisce all those nights we've spent wandering and kissing.
Five years from now, I can finally see myself leaving this place with nothing but a light heart and a dulcet smile, a mended soul packed with no memories and uncured wounds from the tragedies we once made.
Five years from now, I can finally see myself all happy and healed;
But today, let me just mourn over things that once brought me joy. Let me be sad. Let me be weak.
I promise, five years from now, I will not let myself drown over the same depth.
I will be rising; not with a chapter full of regrets, but a whole new novel of recognizing a once great love, and finally, hopefully - accepting.
