I closed my eyes and the flashback hit me. I went on a 30 second-trip down the memory lane. I saw the broken promises, I reread our late night conversations. I saw it all and the background music was a heartbreaking playlist you once made for me. Every beat, every verse, every word, they all reminded me of you. They all reminded me of us. They reminded me of how we used to be, how we've always wanted to be. I remembered how every small achievement of mine made you proud. I remembered how you wiped my tears with your tenderness, how you would've stayed up late tonight to cheer me up. I remembered the little things you did, the smallest details you loved about me. It seemed too good to be true. I saw the stars we would've named, the skylines we would've drawn. I saw the places we could've gone to, I saw our wildest dreams. I saw the past, the present and the future that was once possible and all I have left to say is that I don't regret this. Even though every promise was broken, even though you weren't able to keep them, I'd like to thank you. I'd like to thank you for giving me the best time of my entire life. And that was when I woke up and opened my eyes.
