I guess I have one last thing to say
One last promise to make
Let me say it out loud
Let us both find our peace along the way.
We flew so high we touched the clouds
Something chopped our wings, and we came crashing down
We had good times, good memories, and emotions
And infinite inside jokes that used to be our own.
Hurting you was an unconscious mistake
You know I mean it, I begged the gods for you
Giving up on each other for attitude we couldn’t take
We were so unbendable we had no clue.
But after all this turmoil that we went through
And all this drama that left us numb
I want you to never forget how good we were once
I want you to know how far we have come.
I still see you sometimes when I’m asleep
Wake up and realize it was something I couldn’t keep
And yes it’s sad to let someone like you go
But I knew it was time and I couldn’t have said no.
Trust me you will continue to be in my good books
And I’ll forever praise the qualities you possessed
I’ll miss calling you first thing I wrote something new
But I hope you continue to read them, happy or when stressed.
And I’ll defend you every time they come at us
Trying to tell me, as if they know what we were
Because that’s something only you and I shared
I might not have the right anymore, but I swear I still care.
You might have people too who laugh at what we had
But don’t worry about them, people were always jealous anyway
We have run our course with memories sweet and sore
Now we keep them in a shimmery box and bury them by the shore.
I want you to achieve all we ever talked about
Want you to continue winning without a hint of doubt
Keep shining with or without me
Maybe invisible, but forever on your side, I’ll be.
We didn’t work out in this world, but somewhere else we just might
Building a life together, we might achieve great heights
And stand on that porch we used to talk of
Watching the rain as it pours and falls off.
So let go of the differences that led to where we are
We did the right thing before it went too far
You gave me more bliss than you gave me scars
And it might not be mine anymore, but take care of that heart.
