You

They all moved on. All my old crushes. All my old love affairs. All my old secret admirers. All my forbidden men. They all moved on in their lives. 

It hurt me. It stung. I ached. But then it relieved me. I smiled. We grew older. In a split of a second, I could feel my past crawling away. I was no longer part of this distant reality, that was once mine. 

To give up something that used to be yours is hard, until you realize that it USED to be not IS. 

For all the little pieces that broke with each love ache, for all the smiles shared in each love affair, I give all of the past up. I set it all free. To wander. To conquer. To explore. 

I want to see more, to seek further, and to live wilder. 

I want to meet You. My one and only You...
