I always imagine, what the end will look like
It will come with a burst of emotion
A fire
Explosion like a hydrogen bomb that destroys all of our buildings
The foundation that we’ve built together for a long time
It will come with a big argument
Where I defend mine
And you defend yours
Then we left that talk with a 200kg burden in our chest
It will come with a big bang
But instead of giving birth to life like in science
This one in reverse,
Will suck out life from every being
It will absorb all the light in my universe
What remains is a total darkness
Endless horizon with no appetite
That’s what I always ever imagined.
Turns out, I was wrong
It never comes with that grande spectacles
Instead
It comes with small steps
The ones that you never realize
Until suddenly you are on a completely different side of the world
It comes slowly
With expectation that one by one didn’t meet
It comes along with days when you want to be together, but turns out cannot
It comes along with you fighting your own battle
That you tried to share, to relieve a bit of the pressure
But you decided not to
Because you know exactly what that will end with
And you continue your life
With happiness that you seek elsewhere
Because of the difference
Up until a point where it’s pointless
Not because that you aren’t happy together
But because that mutual happiness circle becomes smaller, and smaller
Emotionally disconnected
Nothing left.
Different from what I imagined before,
The end comes with a peaceful intent
That you want to move on with your life
