Never hold on to something you cannot own.

[austeretomorrow]

We spent an amazing day together.
One of several, but special.
Because this was our last.
And I held on to him like a child and cried.
he kissed my cheek, my neck, and my shoulder.
I wouldnt let him near my lips.
I walked him to the door.
Told him I loved him
for the very first,
and the very last time.
and he said he'd never forget me.
But a year is a long time
to make that kind of promise.
I hugged him for the very last time
I looked at him for the very last time.
I saw him drive off for the very last time.
And I told myself that tomorrow will be better.
and its only getting worse.
what is tomorrow worth,
without the person you love to share it with?

How do you forget someone who leaves you,
not because you've fallen out of love
not because they've betrayed you,
but because they simply cannot stay.
because he cannot choose between love and work
because he has more responsibility
than voice to choose with his heart.
So he sucked it up,
and loved you for as long as he possibly could,
and looked at you with dry eyes and said,
goodbye.
