As I retrospect

What went wrong between us

Was I to be blamed

No

For I was always there

As standby

Never encroaching in your space

But waiting...

For few moments of you

Of us

You never realised my value

Until I withdrew

Now when you text "miss you"

It sounds hollow

Coz when you couldn't appreciate my presence

How would you even hold on to my absence

You left

I simply collected myself

With shells of memories.
