Tonight, I have mustered the
courage to ask my heart if it
still misses you, perhaps it
does— but not in the way
that it used to.
This heart has stopped
wandering barefoot in the fields
of our memories and the
remembrance of your scent no
longer fills my soul with nostalgia.
And for the first time in a while,
my heart does not feel heavy.
It no longer flinch at the thought
of you and I know I am free.
My heart is whole, and
it is unapologetically happy
embracing her new beginnings.
