when i can learn from the experience
and not feel the regret
when i can walk away
and not look behind
when i can write of you
and not play with words
when i can speak of you
and not feel any shame
when i can think of you
and not shed a tear
when i can read your words
and not be pulled back
when i can burn the letters
and truly understand
when i can remember the good
and let go of the rest
when i can move beyond the past
and know that i have grown
when i can meet you in my dreams
and look you in the eye
