Dear Reader,
Nothing lasts forever. Endings happen every day and sometimes they come easier than others. But with each completion a new beginning can flourish that didn’t have the opportunity before. Moving on can be difficult and holding on can be a crutch. As soon as you let go from that image of where you dreamt you’d be, suddenly your imagination kicks in and you can be anything.
So, what I’m trying to say is…
Let me go. Stop holding on. You know you think you’re better off. This time of change will rearrange and nothing between us will be the same. The past still lives like scars on skin and there’s no getting past where we’ve been. You made your choice clear as day and now there’s nothing left to say.
You set the tone in your note and don’t need to spell things out. My troubles were too much and your thoughts caused too much doubt. I can’t reassure your diagnostic worries and so, in hurry, I must move on. Your spiral leads to a dark place where we can’t meet face to face.
You broke me with your break and that’s all the pain I can take. Let me go. Stop telling me what I already know. Love may last but you’re on a different path—forged alone with no room for me to grow.
There’s no taking me back after all that,
S.E. Dillard
I think these would make great lyrics. Maybe ask Orion about someone to do the music.
