A breakup with my past self

ARCANE SPOILERS

What if you could go back in time, to experience your first teenage loving kiss, fully knowing you’d be sent back to adulthood when you woke up?

What if you felt all that love, and all that heartbreak, all at the same time?

And now, a poem

Twisted

two hooks
our lines got twisted

ecstacy
there's no untying

where will the currents take us next?
other than away from each other?

something about us
my dearest

it's time to say goodbye
when I think of you

I wince
I wish

you showed me both what life is
and that we can't

What got me here won’t get me there.

What will “get” me “there” is letting go of what got me here.

What got me here was trying.

I don’t need to try anymore. But I did need to try then.

You’ve served me well. And now I let go of you. We watch each other drift away. He hangs onto me at first… and then lets go, lovingly looking into my eyes.

Love,
Harry
