Munich

"It breaks when you don't force it, It breaks when you don't try" Munich Lyrics

For many years I went back to a place that used to be important, partly to find you and partly to try and win this continued battle between the things that change and the things that remain the same. It is a sunny patio in the morning, and because of the house, the wind would be imperceptible except for the ever so slight rustling of the leaves of the trees in the backyard. It still felt good to sit there in the sun, the silence is still friendly and warm, pretty much like an old person you have known for a long time. There is a song, Munich by Corrine Bailey Rae that played on that backyard back then, back when, I could still find you if I sat still for long enough. I don’t go there anymore, and it is not that I grew cold or that I will not let my heart linger anymore. On the contrary, savoring the proverbial moment means more to me now than it ever has. Because, the old clichés are true; time passes, people grow , moments pass and even the most beautiful songs end. There is a place on Cypress Mill that used to be important, my heart still remembers it and all that it stands for but now there is a new place I have to go. You said that when it was time to let you go, I would be ready. It is time to let you go, and I am ready, even though the hand pressed against my window shakes slightly, I know you are not here anymore.
