Never ours
Xio Aug 30

For Now, Goodbye. ❤
Xio Apr 2

So here’s my thanks, a whispered sigh—
I’ll step away, but not goodbye.

Let You Go
Xio Feb 12
I'll never forget you,
You'll always be at the back of my mind,
But as the days go by,
I can't help but think it's time,
You'll always be the first,
Even if your far gone from here,
Now finally I'll close my eyes,
And let go for the first time in years.
