finally.
i have
let go.
i can call you
past the night
into tomorrow
i can talk to you
without hurting
i can sing to you
without guilt
i can love you
for you
and not for love.
i love you
because i care for you
not because
i need you
not because
i cant let go
not because
i love feeling your hurt.
the person I love
may be dead
but I find it quite fine
to love this
new person
I thought had left me behind.
this life
that had seemed so close as a dream
was closer.
I grasp it with
both hands
a life anew
one without
me needing
your validation
and your hurt
your love
and your pain
i have cast hurt aside
and welcomed this
something new.
finally.
i am free
from everything.
she was everything.
now she is love.
