Been four years now.

I can't believe,
how the past 4 years went so fast,
and how I keep lingering on the thoughts of you since then.

I close my eyes for a moment,
and I could see your face crystal clear.

Even if things have changed,
in my mind you still stand on the same place,

wear the same amicable smile,
while gently caressing my lips.

you set the bar so high, you know?

no one adequate enough

to fill the void inside my soul.

how could you well it up effortlessly?

how could our little trade of mouths
take me back to my solid ground?

how could the way our naked bodies entwined
revitalized my broken bones?

it tortures me how no one could top that.

I open my eyes as I stare at the hotel ceiling,
wonder why 

with all the years that've passed by,

and all the places that I've been to,
it doesn't get any easier.
