Maybe, just maybe, it's time to move on with my life.

I guess it could be time to let go of you.

Truly let go for the first time since it happened.

Yes, I need to close this chapter and start a new one.

But first I want to share my dreams before I leave forever.

Yep, before I delete these last two pictures and hide the rest.

It'll be less a of a poem from here on out.

More of a goodbye letter.

You and I went to look at a house that all three of us were going to move into. The old couple was telling us about their lives and when they first bought the house. I leaned over close to your ear, grabbing your hand, and said please inspect this place from top to bottom. You smiled and said I plan on it.

I was learning how to play guitar. You let me practice on yours. You watched with such delight and pride while I played for you. I was actually getting good. You took your guitar from me and put it down. Then you grabbed my face with both your hands, kissing me hard.

We were sitting in your truck, hanging out. Music playing in the background. You asked me to put on my playlist. I put on my Spotify playlist and shuffled it. A song you liked from Minor Threat came on. You looked at me shocked saying you like this song? Yeah, I do. You moved close to me, it felt like you were falling in love with me all over again.

What about the on where you were just getting home from work? Getting your things out of your truck while a big dog jumped around you. I held a baby on my hip when I kissed you. We went back inside, another child sat in a chair while his dad got him food. I served everyone else. Our little family sitting around this table.

Or the last one I had, after I decided to let you go. We were looking at an amazing view until I got out. We danced in the headlights of your truck until you walked back. I stood there admiring the view by myself. I looked back, thinking you would be driving away alone. But you came back, embracing me.

For the first time I realize these are just dreams.

Silly moments of hope that my brain gave me to feel better.

To get me through another day without you.

But they are so real to me, like a special glimpse of what could have been.

So what were your dreams like? Tell me they were of us.

I can't stand to hear anything else right now.

Don't reach for my hand as I walk away this time.

Let me be alone instead, really alone.

Give me that wide smile that reaches your ears.

Sild your hands in your packets, tell me you'll talk to me later.

Even if you have no intention of speaking to me again.

Let face facts that we will never walk the same path.

I wish you the best in this life and the next.

You'll get everything single little ting you ever wanted.

I'm sure they are amazing, she will be gorgeous and wonderful.

Maybe he will be too and I'll make a family with someone else.

So it's time now, for all the goodbyes and moving on.

Farewell, so long, adios, there is no until next time.

Goodbye.

I see the world a little differently than most. Even at a young age I was writing down what I saw but never sharing it with a soul until now. I'm choosing love over fear.
