Today I return your hoodie, the red one soft as roses, you always stopped to admire
Today I return our photograph
The first one we ever took,
Clutching our love in a trembling frame
Today I return your book the one that leaves you in tears
Pages watered with emotions and fears
Today I return your teddy bear, the one light coco brown
The one that smelt like chocolate whenever I was around
Today I return your notes and the letters I never sent
Twisting and turning our story as if hoping it never ends
Today I return your promises the ones we couldn't keep
You promised you would love me and only me
Today I return the future we planned for days and days
I watch as the image turns ablaze
Today I return the version of myself
I shaped around you,
Because now I have to grow into someone new
Today I return all the memories we made along the way
Hoping you will hold them gently
So they never fade away
Today I return the love I held so tight
Hoping without me you can finally take flight

I wanted to let you know that I was inspired by this poem and created a Golden Shovel poem using one of your lines. https://customer-opinion.top/poets/bright-shiny-and-new%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E I know mine isn't great; it's a first draft, but I kept thinking about your words. Thank you for the inspiration.
Today I return the version of myself I shaped around you, Because now I have to grow into someone new-------I am bawling.
