I choose to love you from a distance, to shield my heart from the hurt of watching you leave, leaving nostalgia and a touch of bittersweet longing
I choose to hold on to you in my dreams, that’s where you live in recollection of our laughter and whispers, etched into what will not be
I choose to hold you not in my arms, but in the corridors of memories where your presence lingers, a reminder of shared moments
I choose to let go of the illusions, to surrender expectations, to find solace, allowing the winds of change to carry away the fragments of what could have been
I choose to discover the strength to embrace the beauty of what is, untethered from the weight of unfulfilled promises
