Letting you be
Taking a step back,
A long breath in,
Then watching as my breath,
Moves away into a spiral of mist.
Things change quickly,
My mind left spinning,
But as my heart starts searching,
I take a step forward and breathe.
This time I can't ask you to explain.
This time I can't see you leave.
This time I can only accept your words.
But now I have to get my mind to slow.
My time with you was fun
And though we made mistakes
Don't let this darken our memories
Don't let this build a wall
Because one day our paths may cross
But until then I wish you well
But know that I might just keep walking.
