when it all goes away

when it all goes away....

When the calls stop, and the texting, and the emails. When the interest has rested, and the care has subsided. When you want to justify it, instead of vilify them. When you want to make it OK, and not make it hurt. When the conversations are short, and the voicemail is what answers your calls. When the promises become just words, and the time spent become just memories, and no longer are a part of everyday life. Even when you think everyday, every occurrence was important, those things have stopped.
When the wondering has eased, and the closeness shared is no longer. When the restlessness from silence has eased, and the hurt of abandonment has gone. It has all gone, and it's over. The once was, is no longer, and the hurt in your heart, hurts no more.

When it all goes away, it's okay. It's time to start over, to move on, and to be okay with it all.
