hours, days, weeks, months
I used to see you every day for hours
Those days soon turned to weeks
Now its been months without your presence in my life
The scent of you that used to linger on my clothes has faded
The taste of your lips no longer visits mine
The sound of your sweet voice no longer resonates in my head
You, the person that promised to never leave me has left.
You gave me back my heart in shattered pieces
As much as I'd like to blame you for what you did you are not to blame
I should have never given you my happiness for as it was never yours to have
I tried so hard to grasp onto the memories we shared but now I've learned to hand them over to the past
I am slowly starting to be grateful for the memories we shared rather than remembering them in pain and vain
I revisit our old spots in hopes that one day it no longer hurts me that you are not with me
I am so happy for my growth but it been hard
Whoever tells you its not hard to let go of someone you loved
Has never loved.
I am learning to love you again but from a distance
I am learning not to hate you
I am learning to move on without you
I am learning to not hurt because of you
I learned you are not the person I wrote those poems for I never really knew you.
The love you had for me was full of venom but I was too in love to see.
