Pieces of Love

I cleaned the closet today
erasing all the messages
words of endearment
deleting memories of you

I thought it would be hard
I actually found it quite easy
doing it without hesitation

I know you wish
things would not work for me
but
in my heart
I know they will

I was always told
that I would just know
when the right one
came along
and
I just know

I believe that everything
has a purpose
that paths cross for a reason

Our paths crossed
to help me learn more
about who I am
learn to love myself
someday you will see
what purpose I served to you

By loving myself
I am capable of offering
my love
to another

By loving another
I am set free
of the chains that have bound me
to the walls that I have built

I have been a prisoner
of my own choosing
for to many years

And now
I am free
to love

Thank you for helping me grow
