No One Remembers

A secret 

A choice 

Back then, we were just so 

Oblivious and so insensible 

To the clear misunderstanding 

right in front of our faces 

A minor crisis 

A desperate decision 

Our fears got the better of us 

And took over everything 

The defined line between our image 

and our concealed thoughts, blurred 

A lie that became the truth

A closed secret opened up

Everyone saw us as

Who we really were,

A bundle of already broken thoughts

shattered further

A fork in the road

Too many different paths

We went our separate ways

Hoping to hide from the 

Comments and glares

That seemed inevitable at the time

A new start

A deafening silence 

Wait... did no one really care about

Our imperfections?

Were we already

Becoming old news?

An unbiased opinion

An ugly truth

God, now we're just things of the past

The realization hits hard

No one remembers or cares

about our cracks and imperfections

A realization

A lovely thought

If only we had known this sooner

We could have still been free

No one cares about a mistake

We made, all the way back then
