The Lesson of Letting Go!!

 Those few moments when you cared,

I can’t forget them even if I try.

It was like you could read my mind,

And knew the words I wouldn't say.

I always wanted to work, to be something,

But the world is harder than I thought.

I just wanted someone to understand that—

To tell me it’s okay to stay or to go.

You said exactly what I needed to hear.

And after you left, I never heard it again.

That is why the pain is so deep—

I found the person who knew me,

But I couldn't keep him forever.

Now, all the small things I wanted to do

Are just wishes that never came true.

I didn’t find another "you,"

And  I never will.

I wanted to learn so many things,

To see the world and experience it all.

But instead, I only learned one thing:

How to let go.

I detached myself from my dreams,

The big ones and even the tiny ones.

Life is just a list of responsibilities now,

And I am just walking through it.

If ever you find this somehow,

Never feel guilty for caring for me.

I let you go when I realized

That you couldn't be happy with me.

And I cannot feel any better

By knowing that you are sad for me.
