when

when you feel you can't go on anymore,
when you know you have lost yourself,
when memories hurt too much
when you wish you could wake up one morning
and not remembering anything,
when the air is suffocating,
when your heart is heavy
when your chest is tight
and your lungs refuse to breathe
when you see the end from the very beginning,
when you know it's coming
as sure as the sun rises in the east
then it's time to let go.
let the memory linger on
and the pain slip slowly away
opening a brand new page
and maybe someday, girl
you can turn back and smile
