1. My First Love...My First Heartbreak
I never thought I would love someone like you,
Never in my dreams that I would meet you.
But then, as I traveled on my life's journey,
You walked into my life, and I fell for you.
Moving On Poems
Poems about Letting Go and Moving Forward
Love is a dynamic and changing emotion. Sometimes it grows and sometimes it fades. Moving on from a relationship or marriage, leaving behind a past love, or pursuing a new fling can be scary, uncertain, and difficult. However, the prospect of change and new experiences can also be exciting and a time for discovery. Focusing on the opportunities and experiences ahead rather than dwelling in past memories can help us to move forwards. Our lives are in flux in every experience and moment, and letting go, no matter how difficult, is an important part of that process.
