I Am Letting Go And Moving On

For a flash of an instant, I smiled, a genuine smile. I could almost see some memories… I think I saw you, and I saw me. The way it had once been. Beautiful. Peaceful. It still warmed my heart just to think about it. Then the moment was gone… There was a cold shiver, and then there was pain. I looked at you again and I saw nothing. I know I was shattered, but I stood there tall and strong.

“So, this is it?” I heard myself say. “Yeah.” I smiled again, for maybe the last time. When we hugged, I thought I might break. I walked away fast because I didn’t want you to see the tears in my eyes. I never looked back. Not once. That night I lay in my bed and cried, for a long time. But you wouldn’t know that.
