You lost me on that day-my birthday –
when I was crying in the bathroom so the guests won’t hear me.
The day you returned home with no regrets on your face and I welcomed you with a kiss.
The day you laughed at my fears and I smiled and held my tears.
The day you said I am no good in front of our friends and I froze and laugh it off.
You lost me.
but I’m still here
because I lost myself years ago.
