Mnemophobia

In a city that never sleeps, We met beneath a restless sky, You, with eyes like autumn leaves, And I, a boy who dared to try.

He cherished her laughter, each glance a soft flare. But when she whispered, her eyes filled with pain, His dreams turned to whispers, lost in the rain.

Now shadows stretch long, and memories ache, He fears every heartbeat, the chance to forsake. Each glance at new faces feels heavy with dread, What if they crumble, like words left unsaid?

So he wanders in silence, his heart wrapped in woe, Haunted by echoes of a love he can’t know. In the depths of his longing, he carries a sigh, For the girl who was close, now just a goodbye.
