"You Stop..."


This is your journey to where you stand...
It has been long and uneasy
Filled to the brim with everything that is life
Memories linger
Thoughts turn
Footsteps move forward
Lessons learned become realizations made
That you are bigger than these moments
And that your life shall not be framed by the faults within another
You make this choice now
To forgive...
Not for their sake, but for yours
Because like chains shackling you to your past
You will no longer pollute your heart, body, and life...
With bitterness or anger...
The time has come to remember yourself before them
To honor the path ahead
Remembering that sometimes we let go of people without even noticing...
The mind stops thinking of them everyday
You stop waiting for them to reply
Or that same old connection to be made...
You stop allowing them to take up so much space in your life
You learn to move out from that place in the past
The pull to be in the present
Going about your daily life
Brings motion and purpose
You stop expecting them to come back in that final moment with an apology
And the missing pieces that were never found
You accept that they are no longer part of everything you do
You simply let them go...
Allowing what has been fade from sight
Forgiveness is validation
And permission
Because hate is just another way of holding on
And they don't belong here anymore...
