Moving on

What if I asked you
What was the hardest thing you ever had to do
And for me
It was moving on from you
And there’s no set guide
No perfect way to move on
But I have a few things
That helped me move along
You turn around
And you walk away
You don’t answer their calls
And you don’t play their game
You clean your whole room
And throw everything from them away
You scrub their smell off you
And exile it from your clothes
You look at something beautiful
And realize it’s still gorgeous without them
You go to the places the two of you went
With your best friend
And you have a good time
Even without them
You tear up all the papers
And you cross out all the hearts that decorate your notebooks
You go to bed without them
And you don’t feel sad when you wake up alone
You forget
You push the memories away
And you move the fuck on
Because they were just a chapter in your story
And now it’s time to start a new one
Without them
And you’ll be okay
Maybe not today
But one day it’ll all be okay
