Hello! I’ve recently moved, and I’ve been thinking a lot in the process. The hardest thing has been leaving the people I love, despite how excited I am for new adventures and experiences. This poem was inspired by those feelings.

You're a gaping hole a missing part the most precious part of me
You're my roots running deep, grounding me in rich soil so I can grow free
You're the life in my veins that I don't know how I can live without
You're the strength giving me boldness to step forward and begin again
You're the bitter taste of regrets festering in my chest— the mistakes I made that hurt you or kept us from being as close as I wanted
You're the tapestry of love keeping me warm and safe no matter where I go, through all loneliness in every challenge and joy this adventure brings You're the best part of me and I will never forget you.
