Trust And I Are No Longer Lovers

There was a time when we used to sit tight in my backyard. Our backs always against one another and our smiles always reaching the sky. A time when I knew nothing can harm me because we are together. That time was one of the most beautiful times I had in my life. Because I had everything. Life was simpler, easier in those time. It was beautiful. Despite people stabbing me in the back, I knew with us being stronger nothing can harm me. But then, something happened. Something different bloomed, something that made us ignorant of each other. Trust never ran away from me so, I trusted pretty much everyone, even the stranger I met on the street. That’s how easily trust came to me and that’s how strong of a relationship I had with trust. But there’s always a price to pay for everything and so I did pay it, not most but all of the time. Putting my faith in the wrong people, putting my hopes in doomed relationships while trust warned

each time.

And so, I came to a point where being away from people is the only escape. Because now, trust is like my arch nemesis. Because now trust and I don’t hang out like we used to. Maybe it’s because the people who were my favourites once are not in my life anymore. Or maybe because trust warned me each time I stepped a boundary that we created while sitting in our backyard. Maybe it’s because trust loved pink and purple in me but now I’m all grey. Because trust is the daylight but I love night sky. Trust likes to walk in crowd but I love walking alone. Whatever the reason is, all I have left to say is that trust and I are no longer Lovers.
