Interlude

The countdown to goodbye begins when hearts are laid bare.
But I never laid mine bare—so why did we still part?

We crossed paths for just a moment.
The tide receded. The curtain fell.
You don’t have to remember me.

But afterwards, whenever I saw someone who looked a bit like you,
I couldn’t help but look again,
as if my eyes were still searching for a story we never started.
