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.

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