Some people aren’t meant for us.
Sometimes they belong
to someone else.
Sometimes they’re just not interested.
Sometimes the ice in their heart
stops them
from stoking the fires
of love.
Sometimes they love their vices
more than they can us.
It’s always hard to say goodbye.
To walk away, when we want to stay.
But it’s time to go now.
The path forward is calling
like sirens in the sea
with the promise of adventure
and mystery.
It’s no time to dawdle.
It’s the time to rise—
To stretch out our wings
and fly.
You can look back
if you need to
but you’re not going that way.
