For once,
Taking a step back
Didn’t make me choke
On my salty tears
For once,
Looking away
From your brown eyes
That glow like an angel’s halo
Didn’t make me breathless
For once,
Not getting your “goodnight” text
Didn’t keep me awake all night
Looking at your number
Wondering if I should dial it
For once,
Saying goodbye
To your perfect candid smile
Erasing it from my memory
Didn’t crush me
For once
Walking away
From whom I thought
Was my destined soul mate
Didn’t shatter my smile
For once
I realized
That nothing lasts forever
And we should always follow
The echoes in our heart

`Beauty in Walking Away by Maria Digby
There's an answer in the sound of a train
There is wisdom past the bridge on the bay
There's a lifetime through the fog, in the rain
There's a beauty in walking away
