Say You Love Me

I softly whispered “Let it go”

I hated the knot in my throat

I was angry that I needed those words

I wished I had never needed you

I tried to believe that it’s okay

I told myself that life could be the same

I said that I would remember to forget

I believed that I could love you less

Maybe I’ll never convince myself that this is exactly what I wanted or needed, but I’m betting that I can find a little magic in letting go.
