I Won't Say Your Name
November 8, 2023 at 1:32 PM
I won't think about you again, not tonight, not tomorrow, I won't wonder about what ifs, I won't blame myself for not seeing hints, not picking the right choices, not opening the doors, not catching signals, as I am not a radio nor a tool for you to use, nor a toy for your entertainment, but just one of many humans passing by
I won't think about you
Then maybe years after years later, if or when I somehow make it out alive
Maybe just maybe I will no longer remember your name
Same way you don't remember mine
. . .
And I let you go before I fall in love, and I let you go, in hopes you would finally grow up and no longer seek for yourself in other people, in hopes you won't betray yourself anymore, in hopes you would let me go too
and I let you go before I remember your name
