Moving On.

I want to move on.
But move on means forgetting
And I'm not ready to let go yet.
We're separated by a thousand miles
But you still hold the leash,
It feels like you still own me.
I loved you with everything i had,
My brain screams to let go,
My heart whispers hold on while you can.
It's this waging war that has left me hanging,
For I'm drowning in my mind,
I'm searching for an ending.
An ending to what we had
And i need to accept this fact
To free myself.
My mind wills me to let go,
But my heart doesn't want me to.
Memories of us play on replay while I sleep,
I can almost feel your presence on the empty space beside me.
I close my eyes, tears shed as I lay tangled in the sheets at midnight.
We were inseparable at one time,
But that feels like a lifetime ago.
We were different people back then,
We wanted different things you said.
So when was it that you stopped wanting me?
When was it that you stopped loving me?
And why?
I console myself,
Yes, We are apart
But yet
We fall asleep under the same stars.
