Chapter 1
Clementine
A love that began young
A love that could’ve been,
A love that was
Until it wasn’t.
Clementine and Victor
Known each other
For many a couple year.
After years, they become one
And so the tale has begun.
Feelings of love in the air
As pure as a prayer.
But how long will it last?
Days? Months? Or Weeks?
Tears caressed her cheeks
As their love had reached its peak.
Painful goodbyes, Clementine cries
Had it already been over?
Her friends held her closer
As she desired some closure.
Years later, fate intervenes.
They cross paths yet again.
But destiny had different plans.
Victor wasn’t who he was.
He never was.
They dated yet again,
But then came Nia
Clementine became a flame.
A flame that can see its end.
The hatred in her rose.
And like a phoenix, she soared.
Victor, Victor…
How dare you
How could you ditch her?
Someone as true as her
For a stranger?
Love became hate.
Hate became the new love.
Twasn’t great.
What did The One Above
Have in store for these two?
Years spent in hate,
Their paths crossed anew.
As their eyes locked,
Time slowed.
Years of hate gone like that
Like a poof at last.
As she realizes
Her love for him never left,
It was repressed by her heart
Only to restart.
He came back for her.
He took her to the terrace
The night sky their witness.
A beautiful scenery
A feeling of leisurely,
The city inhabited
By a beautiful color palette,
Of luminosity.
They kissed.
The stars in the sky illuminate
As he kissed her rosy lips
His hands on her hips
Her heart responded with a skip.
In her mind, Victor’s kiss
A small moment of bliss
One that she will miss.
But then again, fate found a way
to take that joy away.
Victor left her yet again
For a new girl, Gwen.
Her heart shattered.
Her trust scattered.
Her feelings unregarded.
All for what?
A plethora of feelings.
Shocked and broken,
Hurt and numb.
Clementine, Clementine
How are you gonna recover?
She was always a strong one.
Music guided her.
Venting helped her.
An overall glow-up.
They lived so close,
Yet so far apart.
Where did you draw the line?
How could you break something as divine?
How could you, Victor?
How could you ditch her?
Someone as lovely as her
For a stranger?
Aren’t you bored yet?
Have you no shame?
Nothing to regret,
Isn’t that what you claim?
Clementine, Clementine…
Don’t weaken yourself
Don’t beat thyself
Never blame oneself.
Her friends kept her company
Sam and Ann consoled her
Alex and Ava cheered her
And Sandy helped her
reach her destination.
Save your tears.
Leave Victor and the despairs.
You are strong, and naive no more.
You’ve people around you,
Whom you can call home.
He’s not the one,
with whom you belong.
Regain that lost smile
And that attractive style.
This is it…
You don’t need him.
You don’t need that imp.
Are you in fear
That you’ll miss him?
Don’t be.
Don’t fear it
He’ll never come near you
And you won’t let him.
You have your friends
Who you can depend on,
Who will never leave your side,
Till the end.
Fin…
