                                            I LET YOU GO
I let you go -
Not in anger,
Nor in the silence that follows a storm,
But in the quiet knowing
That love does not always mean holding on.
You were a season,
A song that played through me,
Changing the rhythm of my heart
For a while.
And though the melody still lingers,
It no longer hurts to hum along.
I let you go
The way the tide releases shells -
Not because they are unworthy,
But because the ocean must keep moving.
You taught me how to see myself
Through another’s eyes,
And in doing so,
You showed me where I had disappeared.
So I gathered what was left -
The light, the laughter,
The lessons wrapped in ache -
And placed them gently
Back into my soul.
I let you go,
Not because I stopped loving you,
But because I finally started 
Loving me.
