Love: A Journey

GOODBYE...

I can finally feel the smell of you fading from my hands.

I can finally hear the dying ego of your voice make its final lap around my eardrums.

I can finally feel the shape of you slowly leaving the memory of my arms.

I can finally smile without having to put on a mask.

The weights of sadness that were once imprisoned within the corners of my lips,

causing my constantly frown,

have finally been lifted.

Granted there are days when the small things around me, remind me of you

But it's getting easier and easier to get through the day without my mind gravitating to the thoughts of you.

I am beginning to slowly but surely evict you from the real estate you purchased in my subconscious.

Finally starting to let go of the butterflies that your presence once commanded to flap around the confines of my stomach.

You are slowly becoming a stranger to the heart you once owned.

Finally done ripping the seeds you sowed.

Done harvesting your forget me nots and throwing them into the rivers of memories by the burial site of my past,

so I can move on free from you.

I still miss

But less than I did yesterday

And by tomorrow

I might not miss you at all.

I think I'm finally ready,

To say goodbye

And mean....

Goodbye.
