I’m sorry I haven’t written you a poem. You would think almost four years would have been enough time. It’s ironic because there is nothing to profess No profound feelings to be had Just coming to a realization.
My mind is oddly at ease. The turmoil that previously resided there seems to have moved on Like a storm passing over a ship.
I am no longer in love with you.
It’s hard for me to pinpoint if it was the long distance that did it for me or maybe it was the lack of communication in the end Maybe there’s a hint of jealousy and despair seeing you thrive in a place that was so toxic to me. But, I would never ask you to leave your happiness and success And I hope you will do the same for me. I’m thankful for the relationship we had. I could not have become the woman I am today without you. You have given me the independence I’ve always craved For you were the crutch I needed to get walking But now it’s time for me to run For me to start my life Without you. You may never forgive me. And that’s okay. but I can’t live my life tied down to such a volatile place and I can’t love where my voice isn’t remembered.
