As I close my eyes, I see
Memories of you and me
Found myself smiling
Then you're slowly fading

Your voice was my music
Now it makes me sick
Your face that I used to daydream
Now gives me the reason to scream

If before I wish you to stay
Now I want you far away
Sometimes nothing's permanent
So now I'm just...enjoying the moment

Love the strong self-affirmation of the closing line. I found myself conflicted right along with you as I was reading your poem. I also felt a great relief, a shedding of the weight of all the "stuff" of the type of relationship your work described. I felt I had achieved "closure" when I read, "So now I'm just...enjoying the moment." And I experienced a satisfying sigh with that final period. My shoulders relaxed as I envisioned your very great relief in the conclusion of the events you described. I have no way of knowing whether this was something you actually experienced in your life or a train of thought that came to you by seeing it in the life of another. However, you captured and expressed the turmoil and stress beautifully. The conclusion was exceptionally executed.
