I know
that we’re just
delaying the inevitable,
and that you’ll have to leave
soon.
I know
that I should be
ready and prepared
and used to it,
by now.
But I still feel
like the air has been
sucked out of my lungs
at the very mention
of you going away.
I know
that it’s inevitable,
but, I still can’t bring myself
to terms
with this.
I know
that I can’t stop you
and that I shouldn’t stop you.
After all, it is
inevitable.

My first thought was an ending relationship… but, then I thought… a high school graduate starting college.

I wrote it thinking of a relationship, on the verge of long distance.

To have someone go, it seems they seem to take a piece of you with them but that piece they take is a symbol that can serve as the thing they keep in their heart that makes the connection stronger. Bracing for something you know that’s coming doesn’t make it any less painful but sometimes it can prepare us a little better for the impact. But the heart ties strong knots and turns shouldn’t into should if they’re meant to.🌹

True. Knowing something’s going to happen doesn’t make it painful but, it does prepare us. And yes, sometimes, distance works wonders on some things. ♥
