Off I Go

I let 

it sit.

Just for a bit.

I let the tears 

take it.

This feeling. 

Then 

when there

was nothing

left I 

dried

my face.

Then I remembered 

I will be ok.

The change 

needs to 

happen.

The growth 

in others 

and myself.

I look back

on all my 

chapters

and I 

miss all

those 

who drifted

into my life.

So many 

stories.

So many 

memories 

that only 

I hold.

Its ok 

to cry

as they

slip 

away.

It only 

makes room

for different

ones. 

And off

I go.
