i had you,
i have had you
for years but
i am letting you go.
i am letting you go
along with all those
times and
moments we’ve
been keeping safe.
i am letting you
go for reasons
even i couldn’t understand.
and maybe that’s
why i should let
you go. i wouldn’t want
to hold onto you
blindfolded,
questioning every
single reason why
i shouldn’t give you up.
i know,
we chose love.
we chose to love
over and over
and we promised
to always do.
but this is me,
this is me saying
that i love you,
that i have loved you with
the kind of love that
knows that endings
are inevitable;
the kind that knows
that sometimes,
it’s better to love
from afar.
and eventually,
someday,
when our paths
would cross, i hope we’d
both be better.
our hearts-
more capable of
loving; of giving
and accepting love.
i hope one day, i
could say that
i was right in
choosing to leave;
in choosing to let
us go.
i hope one day we’d
be able to accept that
we were right-
that we were both
right
but
just not for
each other.
