to let go
to be at peace
with one’s self
and our past

to make space
between then and now
for new days to come
and new stories to be told

to learn how to laugh
again
to love and smile
alone

to make mistakes
and fall flat
unafraid of the bruises
but never regret

to stand on your own
not still
yet always moving
and changing as the current

to say goodbye
yesterday’s gone
cheers to my future
whatever it may be
