I dunno why I did that

I really dunno

I wanted to trick you

I wanted to let go

But I feel lost

I think I got tricked

Yes, I got tricked

The Cupid tricked me

I wanted to play a prank

But it went so deep

that finally, I sank

Are you still thinking of me?

Or did you forget 

Those unique songs we sang

Those things we had in common

The story behind our names

And finally, I became a fox

like how they called me

Can you remember our plans

to name her after my Mom someday?

My thoughts are you

Inside, your name rang and rang

But, I finished bursting everything like the Big Bang

It was done; I am done

But still, I think of you 

And then my heart chokes,

Why did I ever do this to you?

Favorite Quote:
“The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I guess that means we're just products of whoever made us and we don't have much control. The thing is, when people use that phrase, they ignore the most critical part: the falling. Within the logic of that saying, the apple falls every single time. Not falling isn't an option. So, if the apple has to fall, the most important question in my mind is what happens to it upon hitting the ground? Does it touch down with barely a scratch? Or does it smash on impact? Two vastly different fates. When you think about it, who cares about its proximity to the tree or what type of tree spawned it? What really makes all the difference, then, is how we land.”<br /> ― Val Emmich, Dear Evan Hansen

@Afra, this is really heart touching. Made me cry. I can't get the situation much but I think it is about a girl regretting her breakup decision. Emelie and Gabriel made me feel more of the vibe. :p
