"On letting go"

They were right when they said
that if your love is true
you can let go of the one
that promised to love, always.
But now is not the time
to tell yourself that you 
could have done better.
Now is the time
when you need to
tell yourself 
that even if your love
is miles away,
they can still somehow
feel your touch
pulsating against their skin.

You can’t let go
of someone
who was already
gone, but you can 
follow their footsteps
and see where their path
is going to lead you.
But this isn’t your story,
and your feet aren’t always
going to properly fit
the person you care
about the most footsteps.
So when you reach 
a dead end that feels
like it was meant
to slow you down,
start a trail of your own,
and see just how far
you can walk
without feeling like
you are missing something
if you don’t look back.
