When my BFF broke up..

You are not a pendulum

You do not have to swing between sides

You do not have a choice to make, because

A choice between the past and the future

 is hardly a choice.

Let it go, my friend.

Be wild, run free.

Do not hold on to imaginary strings

What's gone is gone,

let it be bygone.

It would be a sin to

chain the feet of someone

who breaks the finish-line tape

in races.

It would be a sin to

domesticate someone

who wanders all by herself

ever since she was in eighth.

Do not let anyone tame your spirit,

not even yourself.

Do not be a prisoner of your own conscience.

Do not worry about how hard your heart broke

Remember, that you have to

break the shell to taste the yolk.

It has broken, but it will mend with time

Let new light in, let the past be sublime.

Do not carry baggage from the yester years

Embrace whatever comes your way

Sweet roses or bitter tears.

Make your memories

and live your dreams

Open your mind and your heart

To infinite realms.

Walk on, sweet thing, do not look back,

and if at all you do,

you will find me looking back.
