Letting Go of Moving On

You are like a falling leaf

 that leaves a scar

You fall too far

 that you are now jailed

 inside a jar

You are farther than

 the farthest star

Even feelings beyond spatial sense

 can no longer reach your sight 

behind imagination's bar

You make me feel 

bluer than blue

when everything else seems

to be back in a black hue

Your absence makes me long

for a  long while

Your embrace encloses 

what I've embodied now and erstwhile

Even if this heart feels exhausted

after a succession of heartbreaking wars

It will still heal since the love 

before and after is at par

No dethroned fragments

nor thrown chapters

Feelings are even stronger 

than giant skyscrapers

I love you that this heart's

 no longer mine

I love you that I let you steal

 what's never yours--

something that's always mine

In times when my heart

needs a break

I still think of you

even if you're the reason

why my heart breaks 

and has to take a break

In times when my heart

no longer beats for you--

you who's always on my head

I choose to escape the feeling

before my breath starts failing 

I love you that I don't want

 myself to forget you

I love you that... when I let you go

I really have to let you know

Coz not letting you know

is not letting you go

Honestly, I can't resist 

something that never exists

Your love for me is always

a mystery that never insists

And it's like I love you

for not truly loving me

I love you for letting

me love the real me

If I ever let go of you,

let me let go of something before you

Something that's never a part of  you

Something that never 

reminds me of you

and everything around you

That something is "moving on"

Now let me love you back 

again and again without moving on 

when the pain goes on and on...
