Simple Goodbyes

Part of the process of moving on.

Ever so often
Or, twice in a blue moon
I catch you sitting there
Lingering like you left something

And per usual...
I chase you away
Never really sure of
Where it is that you run to

I don't follow you,
Not anymore
Lessons learned yesterday
Aren't easily forgotten

Though my heart,
the great wanderer
Wishes it still knew
The love you gave it

The hurt that stains
Your hands, and mine...
Reminds me, plainly
I have nothing to give, but simple goodbyes

Author's Note

Just a quick write... thoughts are welcome.

What you wrote is near and dear to my heart.the process of letting go.the temptation of going back to what hurt you the most...love is the most complicated human behavior

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

Complicated may just be an understatement, but I fully agree, brother.
