On Letting Go

I lost myself between the pages

A notebook counted down the ages

From 24 to 25, I swear

I've never felt more alive

A page folded in the corner

Marks the place in time

A summer night in Boulder

A rooftop in July

I was evading your glance

Lost in my own thoughts

Profound words formed  

Then spiraled to nothing

But something in your eyes

Inspired a spark of courage

I prayed to the night sky

The conservation wouldn't end

Our time spent together

Became my inspiration

Our late night calls laced

With hints of desperation  

It was only months later

When I drove so far away

Something that I regret

Turning to another page

The suffering will end

If I let this memory fade

But part of moving on

Is rebuilding from the pain

What could have been

Is all that I've got left

When every thought of you

Feels like a knife in my chest
