It's always hard
to move on
Pack up to a new dusty trail.

It's always hard
seeing a familiar face
staring up from the box you put it in.

It's always hard
not knowing what went wrong
yet still having to move along.

It's always hard
when what was ended
reappears unmended.

It's always hard
answering the hows and whys
and reliving those always sad goodbyes.

It's always hard
surrendering what was once yours
to the fates and destiny.

It's always hard
accepting blame
where none existed to be given

It's always hard
to pardon the face
that caused you so much pain.

It's always hard
to resist your heart
and castigate that name

It's always hard
when growing up
but still, it must be done.

It's always hard
but I'll take that step
and welcome you back to my heart.
