&quot;Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs <br /> ... <br /> Than in the perfumed chambers of the great, <br /> Under the canopies of costly state, <br /> And lulled with sound of sweetest melody?&quot; By William Shakespeare

You
I
There is no us or we.
Every splitting second I spent with you,
Is now a broken memory.
Your voice,
Your hair
I wish it all left this world in flames.
Your name,
It's forgotten in the back of my brain.
How could you not see that we were immenetly meant to be?
Foolish fool.
You had no eyes to see.
Yet together we were for a year and 5 months.
Foolish fool
I fell in love.

As you can tell, breakups are not very easy. I went through a very tough one recently. One of my many regrets. Enjoy!
