The words emitted
And in that 2.9 seconds I had hoped
I closed my eyes wishing I was not here
Wishing it were not you in front of me
I stand still and say my prayer
Putting mountain ranges in front of us
Because my teacher once taught me
Sound waves do not live forever
As it transfers from molecules to molecules
They vibrate less and less
And then it’s gone
But that’s not the case
It then dawned on me
2.9 seconds is not 2.9 hours nor it is days
We are not separated by mountains
And I heard it loud and clear
Awakened, I saw it
Desperation you held in for a long time
The cobwebs of the words you’ve uttered
You finally mustered up the courage
I open my eyes and saw you
Farther from where you used to be
Leaving the sound waves ringing
Surrounding me in a seemingly endless vibration
For now, I’ll plant my feet on the ground
Voluntarily watch you head to my memories
Scarring myself of the sight
Strive to swim in my own pain
My teacher once taught me
Sound waves do not live forever
Soon this day will just be like a sound wave
Fading into its own vibrations
