I must be the one to truly let go.
Though I know in my heart
that all of your actions are for some masochistic show.
And that is okay in a twisted way
because it makes you feel alright.
Just know that when you're ready
I won't be there to take on your emotional load
through the days and nights.
So this is goodbye,
though it feels so wrong.
I must move on,
though I won't stop mixing my emotions into songs.
You are merely a wave
in the ocean's endless pool.
One day you may be ready for me,
but until then,
I will not be waiting for you.

-Whitney Adele

I picked up my memories and hid them in the sand
my brain blocking out every memory of you
and the way you would gently hold my hand.

One day I may look back and appreciate that time of sun,
but for now I will keep those images locked away
and towards the path of happiness I will run.

I do not think of you in that negative light,
though that is the place where you like to hide.
Instead I will think of you as the beautiful soul who cried
and told me he loved me as he left my side.

-Whitney Adele
