When
I need to learn to get over myself
so I can get over you
Live in the moment and leave the past
back in the avenues
When we were still we but before I was me
before I even had a clue
of what kind of life I’d choose.
When there’s nowhere else to move
but on
When you find yourself standing
in the light of cold dawn
When silence leaves you swallowed
in the pulse of your own heartbeat
When you’d rather listen to the sound of your footsteps
than deal with the thought of defeat
Maybe it’s finally time to move on.

The opening line is my favourite, so relatable. Moving on is tough but necessary. Great write.

This is really deep and introspective... I really liked it. Moving on is never easy, but often necessary. You put your heart into it, and you can feel it. Thank you for sharing, sammy :)
