What it means to let you go


 


to let go means to not tear up when you bring up a fond memory of us

to let go means to not distract myself with shopping when I think of us/you 

to let go means to not look at you walk away from the rearview mirror

to let go means to not hope you will look back 

to let go means to be happy for you and whoever you choose to be with 

to let go means to accept what you choose to  tell me and what you  don’t 

to let go means to know our paths may not ever cross 

to let go means to be ok with the above 

to let go means to not look at your peeking boxers and smirk

to let go means to stop trying to make you laugh 

to let go means to know you may not  find me funny

to let go means to know you and I may never hold hands again 

to let go means to know my travel buddy is no longer mine alone or ever will be or ever was

to let go means we may never make a travel memory of “us” again

to let go means to know you may never ask me out  on  a ride ever 

to let go means I can’t ask you out on a drink or a ride either 

to let go means to know that it not always will be what I imagine it to be  living  with you 

to let go means to stop imagining living with you 

to let go means to delete you from my emergency  contact 

to let go means you should delete me from your emergency  contact (I hope not)

to let go means to stop stalking you on social media 

to let go means to stop planning your birthday gifts

to let go means to not bring up your name on a whim and fancy 

to let go means to stop having conversations with you in my head 

to let go means to let go of what I don’t like about  you 

to let go means to forgive you 

to let go means to accept that you have forgiven me

to let go means to accept what I have chosen

to let go means to love you for  who you are and will become 

to let go means to allow the universe to guide our paths
