The month of August

Do you still remember our plans?

About the beach?

About the time that we will spend together?

For all that, they were just empty promises.

If only I knew that your heart faltered

with the uncertainty of love —

Between me and her.

I wouldn’t be the victim

of your selfishness.

Oh, I wish this month felt like August,

like that night around eleven

underneath the dazzling stars

when you and I seemed like lovers.

But the truth never lies;

you never loved me in the end.

Oh how I wish you could erase your past

and how I wish you could love me anyway.
