New Home New Life

~ "Starting today I need to forget whats gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next, because if I stay here in the past i'll never be able to move on," I confessed unto the man in the driver's seat, mindlessly playing with my seatbelt before snapping my head up to meet him with an assuring smile.

"Alright then," he grins in my direction, the car purring to life as he turns the key, "Let's go." Without a second glance in the rear view mirror we're off. A small piece of my heart seems to flutter away behind the car and stick itself to the house, leaving me with a pang in my chest. ~
