Remember the days when nothing mattered?
Yeah, I can’t remember them that well either.

You hated movies where the hero saves the day.
“Heroes don’t exist. At least, not in my world.”
I kept my lips shut, sewn together by black thread.
I didn’t dare say that you were my hero.

Remember when I said we would conquer the world?
Yeah, I forgot, you’re no hero.

We loved to sit in the park and drink vitamin waters.
We talked about anything and everything.
Later, I saved the caps and drew little hearts on them,
Marking the days we were together.

Remember when we used to laugh?
Yeah, there wasn’t much reason to laugh, but we did anyways, right?

You loved to collect pebbles on the beach.
One day you found a blue one.
“This reminds me of you, because your eyes are so pretty,” he said.
I didn’t tell you about the flecks of dirt on the pebble.

Remember when we whispered promises to each other?
Yeah, but you broke them all, and I kept every single one.

I still have those caps with the little hearts.
The blue pebble sits on my desk.
I don’t regret what we did, because I was able to move on.
But I think you’re still struggling to repair the cracks in your heart.

Remember the days when nothing mattered?
Yeah, I can’t remember them that well either.
