“Do not apologize”, she said
for your razor wit
your large wisdom
your body of truth
for walking away
for staying behind
for surviving the storm
for evading the authorities
for moving ahead
for buying time
for eating your words
for reading it wrong
for your rose colored glasses
for breaking their hearts
for breaking your own
for every abandonment
for beating the clock
for building back better
for winning a race
for knowing an answer
for telling a lie
for giving it all away
for taking it back
for holding on
Now letting go
