I apologize for not responding. I was despondent and absconding. I'm layered in fears. Emotions tearing at my tears.  I am aware I gave you years. I'm going to a better place and I hope to not see you there. No matter how hard I try to displace you, I remember embracing you. I loved you and loved again, now I'm alone again like when I began. Why am I daunted by the haunted thoughts of us? I didn't want to believe your trust was only a bust. I move on because I must, not because it's right or just. I don't want to lust in lieu of you. We've gone our separate ways and so many words come to mind that I never got to say. I condone this road I'm on alone. I loved you and you were the reason why, but we parted and this is goodbye.
