Late at Night, I Think of You

It’s time for me to start anew,
Time to move forward on my own.
But, late at night, I think of you.

To the past I’ll bid adieu,
Yet reap the seeds I’ve careless sown.
It’s time for me to start anew.

Making tough choices is overdue.
It’s hard to leave the life I’ve known.
But, late at night, I think of you.

Now that my world’s been knocked askew,
And the lie put to all I thought I’d known,
It’s time for me to start anew.

I have no doubt I’ll muddle through,
And if I must, I’ll walk alone.
But, late at night, I think of you.

As always I’ll do what I must do,
And move ahead to... where? Unknown.
It’s time for me to start anew.
But, late at night, I think of you.

I'm impressed. Such a hard form to pull off, but you've done it!

Thank you. I usually don't admit to how much work and crafting I put into a poem, but this one took a lot of labor to get even this okay. =0)
