Moving On Poems - Page 3

You have to be hurt to feel pain
You have to feel dryness to feel rain
You have to walk to be able to run
You have to feel rain to feel sun
You have to dance to be able to stop
You have to stand to be able to drop
You have to be born to be able to grow
You have to have water to have snow
You have to be on the ground to go above
You have to feel hate to be able to feel love.

The stars above keep reminding me
Of the times that we spent,
But the memories that we share
Have come to an end.

Now I just need to accept
That we are already done.
But now that you're gone,
It hurts to forget.

I don't love you,
But I also don't hate you.

I don't want to think about you,
But my mind finds its way to you.

I don't want to talk to you,
But I wait for your call.

I don't want to cry,
But the pain is intense.

I want to forget and move on,
But my being is craving for you.

I don't want to see you,
But your perfect shadow haunts me.

I want to hold you close to me,
But I remember you're gone.

I can take it all,
But I'm only human.

I used to love you,
Gently, carefully...
As I was afraid of falling too deep.

I used to love you,
Silently, hopelessly...
Through endless tests of disappointments and jealousy.

I used to love you,
Sincerely, passionately...
With all of my heart and all of my being.

I used to love you,
And I hope one day you'll find someone
Who will love you as much as I used to.

Let them miss you.
Let them wonder what wild joy you’re chasing,
why you didn’t think to invite them along.
Let them hear your laughter from afar,
watch as it pulls the sun from the sky,
marvel at how easily you become that light.
Let them yearn to be your moon,
long for a chance to reflect the warmth you provide,
admire how you can be so vibrant and alive
without them beside you.

Let them miss you.
Let yourself learn how okay you are
on your own.

Love is a mystery never to be solved.
When two people have history
and are so involved,
how do you save it
when it all goes wrong?
Is it meant to be?
Will it end suddenly?
No one knows,
only time can tell
if you will stay
and things will go well,
but don't get mad
or even be sad
because if he's not the one,
you will find him
because we all have someone.

When you cross my mind,
my stomach no longer crisscrosses itself.

When that song comes on,
my heart no longer beats to its rhythm.

When I walk down our street,
my hands no longer feel empty without yours in them.

But you’re always on my mind,
and I play that song on repeat,
and my feet always seem to take me straight
to that street.

Once when I looked at you
time stood still.
I could hear my heart sigh,
this love is real.
If only we had known what once was so real,
would today be gone.
Moments of joy and happiness slowly
began to fade, memories of only anger
and pain made my heart grow afraid.
How could love so strong leave two
hearts that simply don't belong.
So sure this love was forever, now
only wishing this nightmare soon to be
over.
Only a short time has passed since
our hearts met last,
leaving behind only a painful past.
With nothing left to say, all I can
do is pray that one day I'll get the
chance to say, the love we once shared
was REAL...

I thought it was your light
that kept me,
that guided me,
but when you left and the darkness came,
I found it was not you
who glowed;

It was me.

Your name is just a name now.
Memories no longer rush back,
pouring through my body,
flooding my mind, drowning my
senses, when I hear your name.

My heart no longer wants to
jump out of my chest to escape
the string. And it’s no longer
hard to breathe.

Your name is just a name now.

And I am free.
