Moving on

It’s been years
since we met
We were meant to be
together for a lifetime
But when the time came
to make the journey,
You chose to leave
and since then, I have been
wandering aimlessly -
Is this what moving on is all about?
Moving on from the happy memories
Moving on from the stabbing pain
Moving on from the confusion
Moving on from the love we had
Moving on from the love we’ll never have
Moving on from knowing you

I still dream of you coming back
And when I wake up,
the reality hits me in the face
I often think of calling you,
I still hear your voice in my head
But our friends tell me
that you are in a better place
I know I’m strong, and
I’ll get over this
But right now, all my heart can think is
Is this what moving on is all about?
Moving on from the happy memories
Moving on from the stabbing pain
Moving on from the confusion
Moving on from the love we had
Moving on from the love we’ll never have
Moving on from knowing you
