Getting Started

I'm getting started today

Throwing old letters away

Cleaning out the attics

Of my heart and mind

Laying the past to rest

And moving on

It doesnt take very long

Until almost everything is where it should be

Until I see your picture

I pick it up intending to throw it away

But I catch a gleam in your eyes

The look that means you loved me

This is always the hardest part

I momentarily struggle

Before placing your picture back

Maybe today isn't the day

For me to get started again...
