Saying Goodbye

It’s not fair

That you had to compete with a synthetic version of yourself

That I created for you

All those happy,

Infatuating thoughts,

Were either memories I had to dig for

Or scenarios I made up

That I had to dig even harder for

The hardest realization that I had to come to

Is that the boy I loved most

Never existed

At least not anymore

Because now you are happy to dive into another stream,

One that’s quicker

Smoother

Clearer

Well now my mind is clearer

And it is crystal clear to me

That it’s time to cut ties

– to the boy that lived in my imagination
