*Under the Stars Alone*

I have discovered a feeling I've never had, a hurt inside of myself, a moment that made me stop and think about who I am and what I need. What I've felt lately is slowly dissolving as I see it failing and as I stand staring into the stars, I realize that it's the end of what I feel. This is the end of this era, the beginning of a new chapter, a new era in my young life. So I will look to the stars and walk on knowing that I will be alright with myself, that I will heal and that life will go on. Friends and feelings will come and go, but I will always have my heart and myself to hold on to. And in that I feel peace, knowing that life is hard, it's supposed to be and that makes us stronger in the end. So as I feel the thoughts inside my heart dissolving as they fail around me, for I should've known, I should've seen it coming, I will remember them fondly but put them away; move on into different feelings, different experiences. So forgive me for letting them go, but I cannot go on with them because they are only mine; and not helping on either end. So as I walk on under the stars alone, I see their beauty and their peace and I know that life has only just begun.
