If now is time
for final chapter
reconciliations..
then I suppose
I’ll toss a coin
into The Ocean..
just to keep it
fair and square.

I know you see me.
But there aren’t many
loving words to you
for me to tell.
You treated me so kindly..
only at first.
And then discarded me..
but not before
you told me that I’m
off my rocker..
and that I should’ve been
more grateful..
for your worst.

And only once
you gathered
any sort of
courage
to reveal your
tender side.
And just as fast
as it flowed in..
you ebbed the tide.
And pulled me in
to drown again
in suffocating
silence of your
depths.

I’m grateful
for the lessons
that we shared.
The best decision
that I ever made,
however..
was precisely when I left.
Which is ironic, since you are
The One who taught me
to leave people
who don’t bring out
best of me
behind.

How sad and strange..
I hope you learned
a thing or two
from me as well.
But that is that.
Goodbye.
