the silence feels smaller now.
the loneliness does not crush me anymore.
i finally feel at home in the isolation.

I’m reminded time and time again
that my days are numbered.
The bittersweet feeling fills me.
My throat feels tight
and my eyes sting as the tears fall down my face.

I dread the day I have to say
goodbye.
I dread the day my heart breaks just a little bit more.
I dread the day I am miles away from you.
I dread the day I leave.
