The End of an Era

Leaving someone behind,

Is like a stormy night,

The darkness surrounds,

As you walk towards the light.

The memories flood,

Like waves on a shore,

And you wonder if leaving,

Is worth it anymore?

The heartache is real,

As you say your goodbyes,

But sometimes you must go,

And leave the past behind.

For life is a journey,

That's ever-changing and new,

And holding onto the past,

Can keep you from what's true.

So take a deep breath,

And step into the unknown,

For leaving someone behind,

Doesn't mean you're alone.

You'll meet new people,

And create new memories,

And in time you'll see,

The beauty in leaving.

For sometimes letting go,

Is the only way to grow,

And in leaving someone behind,

You'll find a new path to follow.
