I held on to the box of memories
Safely tucked in, you casted a smile
A mesmerized reality, unsnapped
Making way for an unrequited past
Your smile, it enraptured me then
And today, overwhelmed by agony
I wrap up my scattered thoughts
Of what could be, yet that couldn’t
Just then someone asks, “All okay?”
I let – off the box, with a faint smile
