"We held on tight, and let go" (896). This is from "Getting Out." The tone in this poem makes me think that the speaker wanted to break up with who ever it was, then didn't when the time came. It reminds me of the movie "The Break up." It's almost the exact movie in a poem. Or poem in the movie. I think that neither person in this poem really wants to break up. However, neither wants to talk. The tone at the end is really sad.
