Heart on the sole of my feet

Where have you gone? I can barely keep up with you anymore, darling. 

Where are the hugs you promised me? Watching you from a distance, I died a little inside. Can you see me cry? You’re fading away and I can’t hold on fast enough. It hurts so bad… you are not my heart anymore.

Where have you been? Your shadow slips the grasp of my fingers and it tears me up inside to remember the way you were. 

You want freedom. You want space. You want yourself back. 

I have no idea. I didn’t know. I couldn’t have known because it was our commitment together. But now I know better - it was only mine. 

One day I’ll learn to let go. Till then, the grudge will always burn inside me.
