The crunching sound beneath my feet
Reminds me of our time together, bittersweet
As I walk in silence and look for perspective
There is no rhyme or reason, no objective
I just want to let it all go
And I want you to know
That I am ok
At least today
As I move through the woods
Miles away from our neighborhoods
I wish I could express what you mean to me
Walking by a dying birch tree
We spend so much time together
Never worrying about the weather
We may have never met
But my heart is what you kept
When you choose him over me
I will grow and survive
Even as we say goodbye
These woods can hide my tears
And calm my lonely fears
I love the quietness hiking brings
It helps heal some many things
Although we may never be
You will always be with me
