TEN YEARS

There are
Endings.
But once,
There was
A beautiful beginning.
We age
And we let our promises
End –
Wither.
We gasp at where we are
At our lives now,
Where our feet now stand.
We once said,
“There’s no turning back,”
And
We let each other go.
And we let these miles,
This distance
Dictate the journey,
This path where I now stand –
Away
From You.
