Another Beginning ~ Poem

I am not a quitter,

You might not understand.

I didn’t leave because I

Was scared, hurt, or sad.

I still want to be there,

In the school that taught so much.

It was my life and lesson,

The world in which I love.

Why’d I have to leave now?
I sure don’t want to go.
There’s nothing I want more than

          

To live that life I know.

But here I go now leaving,

It’s better for us both.

If we want to be friends still,

It’s time to let it go.

It will come back, I’m sure.

The healing though takes time.

I won’t forget about it though,

Even after it dies.
