She saw him with another girl
She's happy for him
But as she walk away,
"I wish that its still us in the end
and this is just a phase."
Was all she said.

Through the brass window sills
Past the embroidered ivy green,
Lilting voices chorus away
Chants of spirits seeking solace
In the folds of time, some bygone days
The sandcastles we built
Couldn't possibly be crumbling away.

I walked away in pregnant hope
To build more than ephemeral lies
They laced their fingers in mine
Crooning a sweet lullaby
Stay till the sunset
Till the sun bleeds to death
Stay, and we'll be connecting dots
In the night sky of a glorious past.

Maybe the ruins have in them,
What a future never does.
Tangible testimony
Of a brawl against time
But love, I'm letting go
Nostalgia is morphine
You're wasted on.

Tell me I'm a Titanic
Headed for the iceberg
You'll forever be a dinghy
Tethered to the boardwalk
Tomorrow,
You'll lose the yesterday
You drugged on.

Forgive.
Even if they don’t deserve it. Let it go. Take a breath. They don’t matter anymore.

I admit my heart had grown so fond
Of that soft, hesitant voice,
Those bulky hands,
Your gentle smiles;
I had melted into
every loving kiss upon my forehead,
And I hoped so longingly to keep you
Forever,
But alas, I must learn to cope
With letting go.

I love you yet I have to let go
Never granted me the chance to get close
I've been running tirelessly in circles
Waiting for you to love me back

You cast a powerful spell on me
Three and a half years long
Yet you've barely uttered a vowel
Your eyes put the root on my weak heart

So I ran inside this hamster wheel
In hopes you would set me free
Time is up and need to break out
No more of this dizzying runaround

you've given me love and showed me what love was.
i don't regret a moment that i was with you,
whether that moment be happy or sad,
we were together and i'll never forget those moments.

but i'm giving you your heart back,
every piece that you've given me.
i wrapped it up tight and snug
and sailing it off to you.

there's a letter inside that says everything i can't put into words.
thank you for loving me
and thank you for letting me love you too.

Between the freshly picked flowers,
and my never ending thoughts.
I found a place to leave my dreams,
So that when I find myself wandering,
Into unknown scapes of remembrance,
I can throw away petals that spell my name.
I’ll stand by the water, my hands full of flowers,
and I’ll throw them into their graves.
Knowing that one day when it all turns around,
They’ll be reborn and I’ll pick them again.
I’ll drift off to sleep and dream of the bay where I would let them go all over again.
