I decided today while I was watching the sun set that it was time to let go of you.
My thoughts have been consumed by you and I'd rather be thinking of someone else.
I told myself that when I was ready, I would write the last poem with you in mind.
This is it.
It's not much of a formal poem, but it will suffice.
Up until now the thought that you would be the only one to bring out my rays has still lingered.
I realized that I can be my own sun.
That sunset reminded me of you.
Bright and wanting to be noticed.
You never made a big show about anything you did because you knew you would do it again the next day.
That sunset ended and with it so did the last feelings I had for you.
I've found people who bring me so much happiness and appreciate me.
I've grown and prospered from that night last summer, but you haven't.
I hope it isn't like that for you forever.
I have decided to be happy.
I am the only sun I need.

For the last time,
        m.h.
