The Poetry of Merrit Malloy
No matter how long she held on
to those people she lost
No matter how hard she tried
to get them back
Not one of them ever
returned to her
We must be careful
not to relinquish our future
to people who won't
be there
One of the first things
we have to let go of
is not being able to
let go of
anybody.

it is very difficult to let go... of somebody, of something even, difficult, but very necessary in the life if one wants to breath and not suffocate

You're so right, Julie! It is difficult, so much so that it sometimes feels impossible.... I hope I figure out the way to breathe!! Thank you for your thoughtful insight.
