She needs to leave now, as the seasons pass by

The winds take the dust away to make the slate clean again

With the leaves falling down and being replaced by new ones

It’s time to close the chapter on everything that once was

Including who I once was

My old ways brought me here

They transitioned me from darkness to light

They showed me a flicker of sunshine ,and that I can overcome anything in life

As long as I have myself I’ll be fine, I will make it out alive

They brought me to the doors that I need to walk on my own

It’s the beginning of a new era

The days are brighter, life seems lighter

What got me here, won’t get me any further

I need different skills to be equipped for my life as it is

And the very first step is to say goodbye to what was and not is

She and her life at the time, are a part of my story

A journey that brought me where I always wanted to be

But to go any further, I need to leave her in the place where she lives

Fifteen does not equal seventeen, and I know she’s proud of me

She never could’ve imagined how far we’d be

The past is burning right in front of my eyes

In the most beautiful colors of ashes and light

It shimmers and sparkles as it leaves my life behind

And instead settles into just being a part of my timeline

Making its way in history and marking itself in memories

Till the wind takes it all away

And I’m left with a new slate

All because the seasons change
