Moving On

For the breakup nonet challenge

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

in this town I spent formative years

Learnt about love, sadness, hope, fear

As a child I thought I’d stay

Forever here come what may

But I grew, learned, I changed

Now must I range

Seeking more

Elsewhere

Bye
