Losing you

Brace yourself my heart; carry the hurt inside as expected.
Be strong and let this emotion not cripple me for life.
Loss is real and its effect everlasting; but despite that, I must go on.
Life won’t idle; it won’t wait for me to feel better than I do today.

I would have preferred not to feel this pain, this loss; but it’s unavoidable.
I will greet you from my life; someday, maybe even from my heart… IT HURTS!!!
Though I question the purpose of it, I know, I will lose a little of you; everyday.
You will go your way and I will go mine, without the intention to ever do so.

I will get over this panic I feel; I will meet uncertainty and make it familiar ground.
I will look back from time to time, just to remember the sweet times we’ve had.
Don’t be blind, do not ignore the way I feel; don’t tell me my emotions lie.
Be what may, but don’t make me believe things will be different than what it will.

For now, I must tend to my breaking heart, so I may be whole again tomorrow.
I need to cry, be miserable for a while; acknowledge the loss inside.
You are special to me and will remain that for always, but I am losing you.
Allow me to be sad, take it as validation of how valuable I regarded you in my life.

Don’t say I am silly; don’t make less of my pain than what it is.
I don’t know what to make of this emotion; or how to make it go my way.
I am certain that it will end in, us seeing less-and-less of each other.
It is the slow decay that will prolong my agony; until finally you are gone.
