What remains in us

is a feeling of peace

knowing we’ve not

hurt each other by

being together.

What remains in us

is a good memory

of two people

wanting to love each

other but couldn’t be

together. 

What remains in us

is a friendship

that could never be broken

again by undone

promises.

What remains in us

is a future of being

happy with our

decision in the past.

What remains in us

is not bitterness.

It’s kindness to

even more love

ourselves.
