Maybe
I'd like to say that this past Saturday went by and I didn't spare a thought toward the date. I'd like to say I didn't get melancholy, or that I didn't catch a memory on the breeze as it brushed my cheek. I'd like to say that now that I have someone to lean on, someone who cares about me and who I care about, that I was able to just let it all go and not think about the past.
I'd like to say it, but I can't.
What I can say is that it was easier this year. I wasn't surrounded by everything that had me trapped by it while I was still up north. A new setting, a new life, basically an overhaul of where I was to where I am now seems to be the key I needed to begin to feel free of the pain.
Maybe by next year, I can say what I wanted to be able to say this year.
