The Day You Went Away

It’s been two months since the accident. Now that I’m back in the surroundings where we met it’s weird how the memories only flood back now that you’re gone. I look at your number on my mobile phone and remember how I wouldn’t take the initiative to contact you in the past, and how much I want to now.

I know I still have your letters and locket locked up and I want to look at them but I don’t know how to. When I was away I thought I would want to look at them the moment I got back to my room but now it’s one of the last things I want to chance upon.

When I look around in Bishan I think I saw you but it will never be.

One day I will read through all your letters and remember you best for the sincerity that most people don’t possess.
