A moment in time, I turn and walk away.
For, with more than hope, I see you again.
The stiff wave of a reluctant goodbye,
The cold tears in the autumn rain, fill my eyes.

You never get numb to feeling left behind,
Only understanding, not when, but maybe why.
Cold cheeks touch with the embrace of regret,
Sobering thoughts, I'll miss you, please never forget.

The page has been turned, with ease and conviction,
I'm no longer broken without you, an unhealthy addiction.
Love, sobriety & alcohol.

Bravery in the lonely morning,
The mirror reflecting it's perfect light,
But the person looking back has changed.
His shadow disappeared.

The bed empty of passion,
Light drenching the empty side of the bed.
Where you once felt safe.
How I felt, every summer morning for a while.

— The End —
