あなたのことを忘れない

It’s been a while — 
Not too long, 
But certainly long enough.
I thought that I’d recover somehow,
Yet the pain I felt on the first day 
Has not yet subsided,
But has only dulled enough
For me to try to ignore it now.
I wear a smile
And offer a chuckle
In hopes of convincing you 
That I’m finally alright,
But the truth is 
My heart still suffers
From the emptiness
Of not having you inside.
Even still, I suffer
A little more each day,
Because though it’s against my will,
I’m falling even deeper in love with you.
Perhaps that is the beauty of it — 
Me loving you through it all.
No matter where you go or where we end up
I won’t forget about you.
