torn in half, I never knew the moment of the end —

memory so fragile, I remember only our smiles.

cast in shadow, only whispers remind me why I’m sorry.

I walked right through the final words, missed the credits and we go on.

I missed the end, so I’ll remember why we smile —

& that we laughed.
