Just Want To Be Free
If someone were to ask me what it is I want right now, I’d say I just want to be free.
Free of the emotions that keep me bound,
Free of the memories that affect my sleep,
Free of the burdens of my heart.
I want to finally let you go.
Finally feel like you aren’t what’s stopping me from truly being happy again.
I want to be able to close my eyes and not see your face,
Not see all the things we had when we were together.
I want to be able to dream about lives simple beauties instead of you and what will never happen.
I want to be able to say your name without my heart racing.
I want to be able to talk about you and feel nothing,
Feel as if talking about you won’t keep you in my heart.
I just want to not find myself thinking about you,
Wishing you’d change your mind,
Hoping every minute of every day that we still have a chance.
I want to never feel the need to text you,
To tell you my adventures during the day.
I want to never desire to see you,
To hope that seeing me will spark something within you.
I want to never miss you.
Never miss talking to you,
Never miss what we had.
I just want to let go.
