Still I hope the best Continue reading

The world is wide enough
The world is wide enoughTo begin againFor us to exist in our own spacesTo start overNever have to see each other againWe are but each others’ lessonsAnd I stopped looking backTo what could’ve beenAnd started moving forwardI still wish you the bestThough I wish to be no part of itFor this time, I chose myself Continue reading
