Have a good life

Relief

A decision has been made

Numb

I don’t feel it yet

Friendship

Your still here so I can pretend

Sullen

Your proud face as it turns forward

Trepidation

I am feeling uneasy

Conflict

I second guess this “decision”

Resolution

The warmth has left your eyes

Alone

As I release your hand

Forever

Wow.. really sad.. almost depressing.. although sometimes we do have to let go! I could really feel some deep emotions through this writing is real.. makes my heart go out to the one being released.. though I know it' s usually for the best in these cases. The feel of if you love something let it free or .. letting a relationship go.. trying to make a friendship out of it.. but we all know it's very hard to go to friendship after intimacy... not impossible but very hard! I understood this so well.. have had to let more than one person go.. it hurts to do it.. but sometimes there is no choice. I hope things look up!!! Thank you so much for sharing! =)

What a somber staircase of emotions. You captured the many stages so well. I am left feeling so sad.

This is such a sad write here
Well expressed, you let your emotions go
That is what makes this a wonserful read.

The internal conflict of the narrarator is excellent and it is executed in a way that perfectly portrays the many struggles we face in any relationship we may become involved in.

Doesn't just making the decision bring relief? The agony of going over and over it all in your head is over. Then the numbness sets in, like the calm before the storm. Then the tsunami hits and leaves you gripping onto a tree with both hands, horizontally, with your head just above the water line; most of that water, your tears.

When the water recedes, everything looks different. It is different. And so are you.

This too shall pass.

It is you who will have a nice life, I hope. :-)

Clean, literal writing. I like it.
