When Night Falls
“With the beginning of night and
The sound of raindrops hitting the ground,
The only thought that passes my mind is you,
The way we talked, and the way we could have been,
If you just stayed with me.
I just miss the way we begun our story,
It all started with me texting you,
On a random context—
Not a “hi” or “hello,”
It started because I replied to your snap.
I was happy—
Happy till everything was right,
Happy till the dark clouds came,
And disrupted my life.
Something happened, and you suddenly changed.
You started treating me like shit—
Ignoring,
Late replies,
Cold and dry replies.
One day I questioned myself,
Why did I even love you?
Did I do something wrong?
And one evening, I asked you,
“Do you even care about me?
Do you even love me?”
You replied, “What if I say no?”
That broke me into a million.
I picked myself up and said,
“Well, if so, then we break up.”
I had to make it look like I didn’t care.
I don’t know why, but I just had to make it.
Then you said, “Okay,”
And that was the last I heard from you.
You blocked me, then unblocked me,
But I didn’t have the guts to ask you,
“Why did you do this to me?
Why did you even accept my proposal?
Just why? To break me?”
And then, one sudden night, you called on Messenger.
I don’t know if you mistakenly did that,
Or if you intentionally did it.
I did pick it up.
I replied, “Why did you call?”
And that is the last text—
You haven’t even seen that text.
It’s been four days, and it’s delivered.
Just know for a fact that I will never
Be able to take you in again.”
