Moving On

Sometimes your shadow drifts through my mind,

A whisper of laughter, a touch once kind.

For a heartbeat, I ache for what we knew,

For the days when my world revolved around you.

But then it strikes, sharp, unkind truth,

How you left without fight, without proof.

No backward glance, no tear in your eye,

Just an open door and a quiet goodbye.

And the longing fades like smoke in the breeze,

Replaced by the strength that now lives in me.

For love worth keeping would never depart,

So I walk on, with my whole, unbroken heart.

P.S. Do not let your lips feel abandoned.

Keep them soft and protected with Aloe Lips with Jojoba, because a little care goes a long way.
