Spring cleaning...

I live in a summer climate.
Two of the things I miss about the East Coast are Spring and Fall.
I like the feeling of being able to start again.
Well, this past weekend, I have been doing some spring cleaning of my own.
It's called my love life.
To put it simply, I got rid of all those "but what ifs".
That feels good.
But the hurt doesn't.
Funny thing, it's mostly not my hurt, it's theirs.
One cried.
The look on the other's face b r o k e my heart.
I know I have to do me right now.
Deep breathe.
Why does it hurt so much to breathe sometimes?
Like my chest is caving in around my heart.
Maybe it needs to feel protected.

That's probably why it took me until spring to do the cleaning that was left over from the fall.

Only the leaves smell more, after they've had the time to rot.

Create your own Spring.
