I never would have thought it would be you
To be the one to leave a mark on my heart forever
Although I knew the moment I saw you
You would be the one to change my life forever
I knew I would fall for you, and because of that
I fell apart because of you
Everywhere I go I see you
Even though I know you’re not really there
You were once my lover; my life partner
My one and only; my forever and always
The only thing I am left with is a memory of you
A lesson learned; a story
A dream of the plans we once made
The hope that my future holds something as great as what it once held for you and I
Because to hurt like this; for this long
You have had a toxic hold on me
One that I wasn’t able to let go of
But now I am freeing my myself from you
A bad word will never come from my mouth about you
I will only have good words to speak about you
I will always remember the best of you
And the best of what we once had
Because that is what I think of you
You were the one; the one that got away
To take in every second of this thing called life
To be the better version of myself
To live for today; not yesterday
Because I love you; I am letting go
