I finally close the book
And place it gently on the shelf
with one last painful look
The shelf itself is in my mind
and filled with memories
A collection of emotions
– this too is one of these
I need to live the moments
because always is too long
The secret’s in the letting go,
it’s reckless to hold on
The pain will surely happen
and the hurting is intense
So take the loss and don’t look back,
just use more common sense
Adversity will teach you much,
and hope you may have learned
That in this thing we all call life,
one’s hopes sometimes get burned.
