You are now my past
I fumbling, found
you in a long-ago moment
falling in love deep
and with your hand
in mine, we wrote
dreams of distant futures.
Today, I stand up tall,
steady, in the heart of this
pertinent present,
and let go your hand,
revoking all bygone dreams,
making you nothing more
but a chapter in my past
and now flying towards
authoring my own
glorious future.
I let you pass. I let you go.
Forever.
