Drowning the Cold

Set me free...leave me be...

There are things that you don't move on to...my "things" are you.
It is not the relationship that we used to have that I can't move on for; it is the aftermath when you have left me in the cold.

The cold still lingers, I still can feel the icy air creeps along the column of my spine. When my fragile strength dissipates, my hands gets clammy and shaky; my throat dries up and I heave my own breath.

It was the cold; trying to pull me back on its gravity. Set me free...leave me be...

I have been surviving and living at my most as much as I can. I opened my eyes and have seen sunshine countless of times. No doubt it I have lived my life the way I always wanted it.  I just wish the cold would stop coming, it always knocks me out when I am defenceless. It's keeping my heart the way it is now.

So that's the only thing I couldn't move on from.

I am learning to accept that cold is a part of who I am. In my steep breaths, I may struggle but I know I  never stopped breathing. When I am knocked down, I still hold my stance and resort to fighting position.

So the cold is my biological reminder to NEVER say "I can't do this anymore."
