Letting go

I was once told by a wise soul

If you love someone let them go

But why is it so hard for me

To get past all 'our memories?

 

I should want this, its for the best

I really need to take a rest

I try to just be happy for him

But what if he gets hurt again?

 

I left him.

I sit in my room with the lights dim

...So its over

With hardly any type of closure

 

I feel empty..

I may be lonely this century

But I'm moving

With hopes of starting over

Author's Notes/Comments: 

just went through a tough breakup with a man after 2 years of togetherness because he likes another girl and I dont want to hold him back.

This piece carries the quiet

This piece carries the quiet ache of someone trying to do the right thing even when it breaks them. You can feel the tug‑of‑war between love and letting go, between wanting peace and still caring what happens to him. The lack of closure sits heavy, but the final lines show a soul choosing forward motion anyway. It’s tender, lonely, and brave all at once—proof that healing often begins in the dim rooms where we finally admit the truth to ourselves.

It hurts for a long time

It hurts for a long time after, but that's because you care. A callous person would just shrug her shoulders....
