How Do I Start?

“How do I start?
How do I start, the story of the end?
It starts after you going away,
Leaving me astray,
Going through it all was a long haul.
But now I have arrived at the shore where I don’t feel anything no more,
I’ve travelled a long way from you
And from new possibilities too,
After you I never intended to be secluded
But after you I had no place to feel included.
It is bitter it is sweet, you are away but I am at least on my feet.
I have learned which I can’t share,
With you it was magical, it was sweet 
But feeling it all again, I wouldn’t dare.
It’s true you’ll never be erased from my stories,
It’s true I wanted more of you,
It’s true I am left with nothing of you,
And it’s true you’ll always be there in my memories.
It’s not reminiscing that I am doing It’s my life without you that I am showing,
Since you have started appearing in my talks,
You have vanished from my thoughts.”
