Moving Away
When things were going bad between me and my love it was the day I woke up morning and decided that it was time to leave to better my life.
I'm fed up with dreaming.
I've exhausted my options.
I'm tired of living yet terrified of dying.
Perhaps things are going well for you.
But take a look at what I've been through.
Take a look at all the suffering I've managed to avoid.
I'm sure you enjoyed yourselves.
You never expected me to turn away.
You never imagined you'd live to see this day.
Look again because I'm about to say something.
I'm leaving everything I know behind.
As I must, I am changing everything.
Not daring to pause and consider the situation.
I want to run as quickly as I possibly can.
I'm not going to stop till I've figured it out.
Why did I allow things to come to this point?
Why didn't I leave the day before?
What would the situation be like?
since you and I are no longer together?

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
