Silhouette

I thought losing you,
and watching you walk away was
the hardest thing
Never had to do but
nobody told me it wasn't the worst.
The worst was
when the memories started to fade,
the worst was when I couldn't replay it in my head
because I couldn't remember what your voice sounded like,
the worst was when I couldn't remember
your touch, your scent, your taste, your laugh.
The worst was when I looked for you down the memory lane
and all that was left of you was a silhouette.
