Memories- Poem

I'm walking barefoot through memories
A mix of cotton, sand and glass
A mix of mud, pure water, and tears 
A mix of happiness, sadness and regret

I'm walking barefoot through memories
Saying hello to the people I used to know
Hoping that they are doing fine 
Wishing them good luck 

I'm walking barefoot through memories
Letting go of people I haven't been able to forget in awhile 
Because there were no more goodbyes
There was just slow distance 

I'm walking barefoot through memories
A journey that ends with an open door 
The future awaits and slowly 
I stop 

I walked barefoot through memories 
And here I'm at the end with a lock 
And a key
I then do what I have to do 

I walked barefoot through memories 
And I close the door afterwards
With tears running down my face 
With a smile, telling myself to let go 

I walked barefoot through memories
And I don't think I'll come back anytime soon
