Moving On
Moving On
By Lady Arabella
Was it hard? She asked
Moving on from the past?
“Yes” I replied, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do
It’s never easy letting go of the things that once meant something to you
But..I couldn’t stay stuck in the ‘what ifs’ and what had gone
So there came a point where I had to learn to let go and move on
At first it was painful and terribly hard to see the road ahead and I felt lost inside
I sat and pondered a while, went back and forth and then took some time to decide
And that’s when I realised, I had a choice if I remained where I was or a choice to move on
I reflected and what had happened could not be changed or undone
So Even though there were Words left unspoken and no apology given to help forgive
And there were times I sat and questioned if things could be different, I soon realised that was no way to live
There was nothing more I had left to give
So, as time passed and the pain and hurt became a little less
It became clearer the what ifs didn’t matter and I had to move forward to progress
So “yes” it was hard but I had to start putting myself first
And in that moment I was taught the importance of self-worth
So “yes” I replied it was hard moving on from the past
But my dear Somethings are sent to teach you so you grow and are not meant to last
