Cast off the past, let it fall from your shoulders
Like last winter’s coat-you won’t need it here.

Fog gives way to sun.
Forget what you left-
The boy you thought you loved.
Do you remember his face?
Watch as he blurs before you.
One day, you’ll wake up and
Realize you don’t remember the color of his eyes.

Green?
Blue?
It doesn’t matter anymore.

Walk the brick paths.
Forget what you left-
The friends who don’t answer their phones anymore.
They cut you deep,
though they don’t mean to.
You have chosen the lesser-travelled path
And now you are going where they can’t follow.

There’s a woman in the distance.
Run towards her
Run like you have never run before.

She is you, you as you are meant to be.
Do not let anything keep you from reaching her
Now that you have found her
603 miles away.
