So Long, Goodbye

For so long I tried
Comprehending who you had become
And to stop missing
The person I once loved

For so long I feared
I would never get over you
And that the ghost of our past
Would forever haunt my future

For so long I cried
Praying for the memories to fade
And hoping I would forget what we shared
Like you have forgotten me

For so long I wondered
Why I couldn't let go
And why you still held
A piece of my broken heart

For so long
I put myself through hell
And couldn't figure out why
But today an epiphany made everything come full circle

I finally realized what was wrong
Looking back on it all, my dear,
You never fought for me
Never once did you put up a fight

Instead you walked away
Just as quietly as I did
And actually, I fought for our friendship
More than you fought for our relationship

I have said all I can
Any other words
And you don't care to listen
You have moved on

Now its my turn
Not only to move on
But to embrace love and to relish
In the amazing new relationship I am in

So goodbye my dear

We may still be able to be friends
But I am putting our love in the past
For I am finally
Finding the peace through all of the pain

Do Feel

Inside I feel as if we are falling apart And I am the one to blame I don't know if you have sensed it But this is the way I feel I try to stop it You know I love you But I feel as if you are slipping through my fingers And away from my heart I feel helpless and useless There is nothing I can do or say To stop these feelings from coming But I guess that I should feel lucky That my heart still feels at all

Why

I keep asking myself Why does he love me?  Me of all people? But then I ask, why do I love him? And why can't I see myself without him? Why has my life changed to revolve solely around him? All of these questions and I have no answers No reasons as to why I guess we'll just never know This raises another question How do we stay together? I guess because we know what we have is real I am sure you are asking How can we be sure of that? I say because of our experience and intuition Tells us it can be All of these unanswered questions Stir conflict from time to time But we have learned that after The things we didn't mean to say have settled And we have long forgotten The things we didn't mean to do The only thing that remains Is our love for one another And I believe that is enough To thrive on for the rest of our lives

Remember

I remember when long ago All I could do was dream Of finding true love I remember when long ago My wrists sorrowfully showed my pain As did yours I remember when long ago Life held no meaning I felt as if I was being forced to play a game I remember when long ago I felt as if my closest friends Were abandoning me I remember when long ago Alcohol became a dear friend As I tried to drink away my sorrows I remember when long ago You stepped into my life And managed to change all of that Later I will remember How good it felt For your love to fill my heart
