time and distance

when you're away from something, or someone, letting go is easier. you don't see the places you've been, walk the paths you've held hands, sit on the steps you've spent hours talking. you build new memories in the place you're in. sure you hear the occasional sentimental song, you remember, you move on.

but then, there are days that you look for the familiar; smells, sounds, tastes, feelings. the hand that held you, the smile that warmed you, the eyes that knew you, the lips that kissed you.

then you're asked a simple question:

"di mo ba sya namimiss?"

then suddenly, time nor distance makes any difference. because that person you're trying to let go of, the one you're trying to forget; was with you all along. in your head. in your dreams. in your heart.

and for the first time, you let yourself cry.
