I said your name and felt nothing,
for the first time in six years.
No more airy flutter in my chest—
No more bittersweet, anguish filled tears—

How strange it is to think
that I finally let you go,
even though I never held you ever.
The acceptance has set in too slow.

So although I loved you once in a way unrequited,
I still love you as a trusted companion.
I just had to learn that the Moon’s orbit
revolves around the Earth and not the Sun.

I said your name and felt nothing…
