Dear Ghost of What Was,
You used to visit without warning.232Please respect copyright.PENANAcaMpO2aeL4
In the middle of silence,232Please respect copyright.PENANAU2uLr9tp7l
in the crack of a laugh,232Please respect copyright.PENANAKMgN1wIBEw
in the scent of something familiar—232Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6CSu96R1S
you'd come flooding back,232Please respect copyright.PENANAyoZs0vBfIZ
uninvited but all-consuming.
I let you stay longer than I should have.232Please respect copyright.PENANAXwddIAzdfU
I made a home out of you,232Please respect copyright.PENANAla2NU27nSc
thinking grief was loyalty232Please respect copyright.PENANAMsFOaLnXcL
and pain was proof that I once mattered.
But memories aren't meant to be cages.232Please respect copyright.PENANAXBm13e8nEF
And you, for all your weight,232Please respect copyright.PENANAceO9VykPCV
taught me something important:232Please respect copyright.PENANAHKCEItuvs2
how to let go without needing to forget.
You were a chapter I once reread,232Please respect copyright.PENANA4QusTUGAkM
hoping for a different ending.232Please respect copyright.PENANA5qjmXuFcwb
But now I've learned: closure isn't always loud.232Please respect copyright.PENANAvMPUOEHYTU
Sometimes, it's a quiet release.232Please respect copyright.PENANAgd7FB6QhiT
A whisper of: I lived through you,232Please respect copyright.PENANA0I34UJQweQ
but I am not you anymore.
I will no longer water wilted things.232Please respect copyright.PENANAKcY4dDZeN6
No longer chase versions of myself232Please respect copyright.PENANAfaUSiReoo4
I've already outgrown.
So this is my final letter to you.232Please respect copyright.PENANAJs4Lw7muC0
Not out of bitterness—232Please respect copyright.PENANA1prr40BZBU
but out of love for the person I am now.
I carry your lessons, not your shadows.
Goodbye gently,232Please respect copyright.PENANAnZJ7fe9wY5
