What

I stopped being a poet when you stopped being my poetry. For I could never write something more than you — more than what we had.
And when the day comes when people shall ask me, "what is your greatest work?"
Know that I will stop in my tracks — dead at heart.
I will ponder over certain moments and think of a lie to respond.
But who am I kidding?
I know the answer even without thinking.
For it has been engraved in my soul — deeply carved in details. And even if it has been too long — you will still be my answer.
For you alone are my favorite once upon a time, even if you're a painful story that never ended with a happily ever after.
