You thought it was normal, but it was not,
It wasn’t as easy as it seemed at the start.
Something was brewing, dark and deep,
A dangerous force that no one could see.
You thought he’d forget you with ease,
But in his world, you were the breeze.
To you, he was just a friend in line,
But to him, you were a part of his life’s design.
If time had been the one to tear you apart,
He might’ve managed to mend his heart.
But it wasn’t time that broke the thread,
It was you who chose to leave instead.
His past had taught him to fear the fall,
And now you’ve made him fear it all.
The way he was with you, so free,
Now he’s haunted by what used to be.
You’ve seen it in his eyes, the dread,
Of reaching out, of words unsaid.
The boy once confident and strong,
Now doubts if he can ever belong.
He’ll fear the warmth of new connections,
Scared of repeating past rejections.
A heart once pure and open wide,
Now cowers in shadows, trying to hide.
You’ve turned a bright, bold soul to stone,
Afraid to trust, afraid to be known.
He won’t make friends, won’t try again,
Now he’s just a scared man, alone in his pain.
The boy who laughed and loved with ease,
Now trembles, lost in memories.
You’ve left him changed, no longer the same,
A soul now wary, carrying the blame.
