This is how you let someone go. 

You start with a dash of self hate.

Throw in some depression

Add the self isolation

And I forget

The way my heart filled when you grabbed my hand.

I don't want the long distance.

I want you in my arms

In my bed

Practicing a future we both know will never exist.

Two years,  I said

And then what? You replied

And then i'll be done

With what? You asked

I'll be done. I said. Such finality.

So how can I build anything. 

Best to let things die.

One day i will like you so much,  I won't want to burden you with me.

Don't let me go just yet. 

I need to hold on,  just a little while longer.

Hold my hand.  Just a little bit longer.
