what it's like.

it's like when you're with someone.
and you love them.
and respect them.
deeply.

and you appreciate everything they've helped you become.

and you know you're a better person because of them.

and you'll always care for them.

and want them in your life.
in some way.
or another.

but.
you know that you're going in different directions.
and want different things.

and as much as it breaks your heart.
it's time.
you must move on.

and hold that time together close to you.
wrapped up.
placed in a small box.
to look back on always.

with happiness.
