The Fear of Letting Go

Our love was bound by a tight rubber band.

A year and five months our hearts held onto one another,

At least mine held onto yours while yours decided to slowly let go.

I did not notice.

You were falling out of love while I was falling deeper.

I realized it was not my love holding us togther,

But the rubberband.

We coexisted in an unhealthy manner within the rubberband as an endless cycle.

Do we stay togther or drift apart and let time mend the pain?

Hurt, tears, and endless contemplation.

Then one night I was tired of crying,

So I let go. It was time to let go.

I broke the rubberband that held us togther,

No matter how much I loved you.
