<p>Time flies<br>It runs like a river flow<br>We meet when the time was still ticking<br>I put you under my skin just like a tick<br>You sucked my blood,<br>And become full and fat from my flash</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You grew to be part of me,<br>And I never envied to part ways with you<br>You were the reason why I kept on going<br>The purpose why I was pleased</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Yet, along the way...<br>You chose to make a move<br>And departed somewhere else,<br>where you sipped a distinct zest of blood<br>From there you concluded not to appear back</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I learned you were kept up somewhere,<br>Nevertheless, I had wished that you will return back<br>You vacated,<br>but never carried everything with you<br>You fled...<br>But left your heart in my pointers under my attention.<br>You abandoned some pieces of you in my mentality<br>And I never napped,<br>I dozed every evening with one sight open.<br>Worried that somebody might snatch your heart from me.<br>Scared that I might not find it eternally.</p>

<p>Moments expired,<br>Days flew.<br>Year's departed,<br>But u never reimbursed.<br>Still, I was gripping on to you<br>Dreaming that one day you will come back to me<br>Still, the was no indication of you<br>Wherever I ran there was no hint of you<br>I marveled where you are<br>I wondered if u were safe<br>I needed to know if you are comfortable<br>But none will give me a report of how you are bearing up.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I never earned peace of mind,<br>Neither rest.<br>Days and nights were the same to me<br>You were actively mingling my mind</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>How are you are holding up wherever you are?<br>I attempted looking for you numerous times<br>I made an effort to digging your whereabouts,<br>Regardless my endeavor never worked<br>Because you were nowhere to be found<br>You were somewhere where you couldn't be noticed.<br>Someplace enclosing for me not to detect you<br>You never wished for anything to do with me anymore.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I wondered what wrong I have done,<br>To squeamish you this sizable.<br>Why you gave up on me?<br>Why you never needed to be found?<br>I never halted looking for you,<br>Until presently!!<br>Now that I understand u are pleased wherever you are.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But I realize now,<br>That was just a matter of time.</p>
