خان 🥀 :
After you, I filled everything with memories of you,
Yet my heart could still have found another place to belong.
I thought I would never be able to forget you,
Yet my heart could still have accepted someone new.
This city was crowded, and there were many gatherings,
Yet without you, my heart could still have been distracted.
People kept hurting their wounds with time,
Yet those wounds could still have been left behind.
I spent an entire night looking at your picture,
Thinking that I could still forget you.
There were stars everywhere that night,
Yet I could still have listened to my heart through them.
Your words still remained in the corner of my heart,
Yet I could still have fallen in love with someone else.
I could have given myself permission to break my own heart,
Yet I could still have forgotten you.
There were other paths, and there were many beautiful travelers,
Yet I could still have chosen someone else.
I had sworn never to forget you,
Yet I could still have hidden you away in my books.
The lamp of your memories still shines today,
Yet I could still have extinguished it someday.
Every time my heart saw your footsteps,
It could still have turned and walked away.
Who says love only brings pain?
I could still have turned that pain into poetry.
I could have turned my silence into a story about someone,
Yet I could still have told it to someone else.
But my loyalty had a limit; I could still have carried your name with me.
I had filled my life with you,
Yet I could still have achieved something in this world.
Now, whenever your memory comes back in the evening,
I can still fall asleep somehow.
All I ever wanted was to live this life with you,
Yet I could still have forgotten you.
