Time to let go

I’ve seen you a thousand times,

but none of them are you.

Your dress,

the way you walk,

the way your arms bulge,

the way your hair falls down by the side of your face

When you turn, I look to see your face,

but it never is you.

Except that one time when it was,

it really was,

it is never you.

You are long gone

from my life.

It is time for me to move on.

It is time for me to let go

of these memories.

I need to make way

for new memories to form,

for new people in my life,

for new adventures,

and relationships.

I need to let go of you now

I need to stop looking for you

and just let you be.

Thank you, my memories,

for the good and the bad we’ve had,

for the joy we once had,

but only sadness remains now.

Thank you for the richness

you have brought to my life.

Thank you for the blessings

you have given me.

I need to let go of you now.

I need to move on with my life.

I am grateful to have had you.

Good bye…
