"Im Standing Behind You Now"

From behind me

you embrace me.

Not an embrace of love or comfort

but to hold me there,

to hold me still.

I move on and yet you linger.

No longer in front of me,

No longer beside me.

No longer together, no longer as one

Why hold me back?

Is this not what you would have done?

My eyes are not yours to see from.

My legs are not yours to move.

My memories are not yours to remember.

I’m moving on.
