At That Particular Time
Today, for the first time since I began taking steps away from you, I felt a quiet sorrow for what we once were. “It was never meant to be,” as a canister romantic comedy would say, but I will never forget that I would not be here now if it weren’t for the decision we made 6 years ago today. Thank you for being with me when I needed you.
you knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
at that particular time love encouraged me to leave
at that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
that particular month was harder than you’d believe but I still left
at that particular time
