december air

airport became a witness to how love left your eye

the last time you see me

witness how dreams turned to ashes upon our feet

words turns black and blue and bored

you began to see how young love is supposed to stay young

now you’re older and love sways

but it happened in the midst of anger and tantrums

and whispers of regret

that you watch love become unrecognizable

with every syllables per second

you then learned distance is everything but numbers

and love is everything about letting go
