Begin With An End

[Original Poem on Live and Dictate, partially planned]

Begin with an end

I begin this journey with the end in mind,

At the end, I don’t turn back.

It ends, so it ends.

Everything should have an end.

I would not despair,

I would not tear, at that forlorn junction

where we

part.

I won’t hold on to the memories we shared.

Reminders? Sometimes I get reminded,

and it pains me to remember.

But I will forget.

I watch you turn and walk away, without ever

looking back.

Watched for another second, then I left.

Too.

I don’t hurt.

It is not in my nature to regret.

So forth, let us walk down this path,

bathed in sunshine and joy

to the end of the sidewalk

where we let go of each other’s hands.

Come, let’s go, I’m prepared.
