Today, not only did I decide to choose joy, yet I allowed myself to smile through the clear skies and ocean waves.
No longer do I long for my wants, because I've learned to let go and let you be.
No statue worth moving, no opinion worth changing, you're nothing more than a broken record, on contant, melodic repeat.
I allowed your words to convince me that I was home.
A false set of walls entered me; you were nothing except a temporary filler.
When I believed you to be permanent, I'm reminded of the person I found myself distancing.
How did our rushed conversations become filled with silence, there was no purpose in being with you if there was no possibility of us, an us.
Este noche, I won't leave with you even if our old habits return.
I've learned to resist the sparkle in your eyes when you glance my way. I won't allow my body to become alive under your soft touch.
The only thing that will ignite, will be my soul as I seek my better self, a self without you.
I can close my eyes and remember our heated seconds. Only seconds, because we were just the flicker of a flame.
