Ache
There was an ache
in my heart that refused to leave.
So I chased everything
I thought could heal it.
The person, the dream,
the approval, the future
I couldn't stop imagining.
I wanted them so badly
I forgot myself.
Then one day, I got tired.
Tired of chasing things
that kept moving away. So I let go.
And the strangest thing happened.
The ache didn't get worse.
It got smaller.
Because it was never the losing
that was hurting me.
It was the holding on.
And after all those years of believing
I couldn't live without it-
I did, I did.
