Old Things

When you were little did you ever have a toy that you could never part with? Or maybe a favourite blanket? I had two, two toys. My dolly and a banana in pajamas toy. I lost my dolly somewhere, and when i moved away, i left my banana there because i thought it was time. And when you got older there was something else you never wanted to let go of, another toy, a pair of shoes, set of clothes? But eventually you do and something else will eventually replace it. I never thought the thing that i had to let go of now, would be you. You have become my old thing, the thing i need to let go of. Except its a lot harder now than it was back then, you aren't a stuffed doll or anything like that. You are a person, my person, but us being people together isn't working. You once were the one i could never part with, you were by my side, and we've been through more than a lot, but now we both have grown up and apart. I don't want to lose you in a shopping centre, or leave you on a washing machine, i want to do this right. Just like my dolly, when i do let you go, its going to hurt more than anything, and one day, someone or something will replace you, that spot in my heart that you took up, will need to be filled. I know that i'll always love you and i'll never forget you. We just need to find the right way to say goodbye.
