DEAR LOVE

Dear love, I have gone,

I am not exactly sure why.

But you need to carry on,

Please look forward, not back,

Be happy, do not cry.

I felt it coming, and I know you did too,

Though I cannot say the moment,

When I knew it was true.

Our paths have uncrossed, our futures untwined.

You need to go your way, and I need to go mine.

Please do not hate me,

I could stay, but we both know.

That the best of me,

When all is said and done,

Is not what is best for you.

I feel so selfish, unanchored,

Naked, thinking of just me.

But please understand,

It is the truth of my life,

I am not who, or where, I am meant to be.

So, dear love, I have gone.

I am heading towards new light.

Please do not hate me.

We tried, but in the end, we both know,

We are no longer right.
