You May Have Walked Out Of My Life, But You Didn’t Walk Out Of My Mind

Grains of sand slip through my fingertips;

just like you did all those years ago-

gradually, you disappeared from my life,

leaving me with bittersweet memories

and the taste of your final kiss on my lips.

Yet I still wait for you;

as if I have just lost you in the supermarket

and I will find you in the ‘Produce’ aisle selecting apples.

I’m holding on to the tiniest chance that you could ever return to me

and I don’t want to admit that that chance is turning into zero.

We will always be together inside my heart and mind;

I don’t think I ever will discover:

the art of letting go.
