Let go

You gave me your last letter
I couldn’t summon the courage
To read it, even not out loud
To face the truth, to let you go
It wasn’t fair
I was selfish
We both know
But my heart is still heavy
Eyes watering just with the thought
Of the unexpected farewell
Tell me, were you ready
To cut the string
That linked us two
Wasn’t the thing we had going on
Worth a second try
Was it all pain
And nothing more
That I brought you
What I’m left with
Is a bunch of fleeting moments
Engraved on the back of my mind
Occasionally causing chills
Similar to those
Provoked by spring’s signature wind
