Frankie

I had to leave

I had to leave the past behind

Which meant everything

And everyone

Including the team

The team I'd been with

For four years

We weren't just a team though

But more like a family

Parents and three kids

And when Mel died,

I felt like the family

Was no more

So I decided to leave

Decided to hand in my resignation

Though I do regret not saying Goodbye

Properly

It was the right decision,

The right time

I needed to create distance

Between me and the team

And by removing myself from the unit

I did exactly that

I could never return to what was

My old family

The unit held too many memories

For me

I needed to move on

Move on without looking back

And I have done exactly that
