LETTING GO

And tonight I let you go,
Free you of the shackles that bind us,
Confused arrays of love long lost,
the memories haunt us still.

I let you go for eternity,
May you find peace and never come back,
It's selfish, really, for with this I set me free,
Those moments spent in reminiscence,
those caped crusaders now beg for mercy,
I hear their pleas and say Good Bye!

And I burn this last letter from you,
Erasing your words reduces your presence,
I remove your name from my list of contacts and feel lighter than I've felt
in days, weeks, God knows Months!

And I forgive my habit of obsessing over you,
You've not been the version I knew
for what seems like ages now.
Somewhere between our first glance and second-last kiss, you changed.
Time took form us what we held close to our hearts,
And now, in my heart, I know you will never be the same.
