My progression and metamorphosis is enough reason for you to walk away. Existing out of desperation and fear of the unknown may eat at our insides but walk. Our feet may plant ever so stubbornly into the ground for walking away from our roots is walking away from a part of ourselves we thought was our everything and everything we knew. My reflection may never look like me, but I implore you to walk my dear our pasts will never leave us, but our future dwindles. Walk until your feet hurt and relax on a park bench and then walk again. But never walk back to the place we met. We can visit in our minds but as soon as we look back, we unravel, and the wounds will be as fresh as they day they were cut. We fell out of sync. We can fall back if the path of progression and life allows us to indulge in our youth. I'll smile when we meet, or I'll smile at the part of me that believes in another life we never had to choose between ourselves and the life we built together in our heads.
