Memories I Chased

Memories I chased for too many years Trying to hold onto what I knew. What I thought would make me happy Only caused me sorrow and tears. My life revolved around my love for you. I only wanted what was familiar to me I thought that trying to keeping you near would protect me from the suffering I once knew. However they only kept me glued in place. I was refusing to let go and set myself free Scared of what the future would bring Forgetting I needed my own personal space As I never saw life going on around me I need to leave now and spread my wings I won't shed another tear over losing you. Keeping only the lessons as they helped form me 12/2/2014
