Coming of age

The people who shared my childhood, 

I miss all of you. 

We've all grown up , 

our new paths shining through. 

Even though shrouded by darkness, 

we continue to move forward. 

Letting go of the hands we used to hold, 

reaching towards the new, 

leaving the old ones. 

Having a resolve tougher than a mountain that I can let go of you,

find the future I've always wished to know. 

It seems it's harder than I thought. 

Each lesson a bitter truth but

at the end of the day,did it even matter? 

I don't know if I will like it, 

this inconstant life would be so monotonous without you here. 

The past however still binds me, 

Just a few dialogues from a novel 

Yet enough to remind me

 that I'd miss y'all so much

My heart already feels heavy. 

No matter what happened between us, 

thank you, 

for you've given me memories so damn unforgettable . 

A part of me holds a part of you, 

In those damn lonely days to come, 

sweetheart do remember, 

I still cherish you and the memories we made. 

You're irreplaceable for this seventeen year old me .
