Time to let go

It’s day 20 of the A-to-Z Challenge and uh this one is a little sad.

The three randomly generated words for today are,

Tribute, Print and Express.

Let’s just get this over with.

---

If you’re not careful you can spend your whole life looking for what you’ve lost.

Moïra Fowley-Doyle, Spellbook of the Lost and Found

---

One minute it’s there and the next poof!

To think it would be safe, I’m a right goof!

This one is a tribute to what was lost.

To it let’s raise a glass. Prost!

---

The thing with close friends I would treasure,

The one thing that would have eased all our pressure.

Maybe it was not meant to be,

That we would treasure it that night by the sea.

---

Maybe I would have liked to keep it as a memory,

Maybe make use of it only when I wasn’t feeling like me.

Just maybe if I had read the fine print,

‘Things tend to disappear without a hint!’

---

For long I have searched for it since,

The thought that it was gone made me wince.

I fear it may have been taken,

My heart prays I am mistaken.

---

Now when I need it the most,

It see it nowhere close.

No amount of words can stress,

The amount of sadness I want to express.

---

The fact that I can get it elsewhere,

Is not something my mind doesn’t share.

Yet even though I know its time to let go,

Somehow fonder to it, I grow.
