Closure

You walked away and said goodbye when it was time to go
You gave up everything we had and now we'll never know.

It's hard for me to take it in and hard for you to see,
that the girl that you left behind and broke her heart was me.

I know we need to grow apart and this I understand,
but how can I move on without your guiding hand?

The man who was my best friend and never left my side,
is now the man I see around and turn away to hide.

I miss the strength and comfort that I found held in your arms.
Now I wonder if being held by you does less good than harm.

I once knelt at your feet, and held my breathe to hear,
the whispered "Good girl" that would reach to my ears.

I looked upon your face with adoration and belief
that you would never leave me, but now I'm left with grief.

I walk through my day hoping that the pain will pass,
but my heart feels like you threw a rock at a pane of glass

It shattered on that day when you said it was time to go,
you left me standing there with my heart just screaming no.

I held it in so you wouldn't know how much you broke inside,
but I find the longer I hold out, the harder it is to hide.

I wake up every morning and view the stranger in the mirror.
I hope one day my foggy life will suddenly be clear.

I'll wake one day and realize that I can start anew.
My future is looking bright and it doesn't include you.

You aren't everything to me and I am moving on.
One day you'll see what you have done and I'll already be gone.

I hope you find your happiness and what it is you seek,
I hope you know the love I had for you was especially unique.

You'll be happy as will I and that I promise you.
One day you'll see that I'm ok, even though our relationship is through.

I wasn't the final one for you and neither were you mine,
we'll grow apart and say hello one day and both be fine.

I won't feel pain or sorrow when I see you on the street
you won't care or worry when my new man you will meet.

The one who understands me and holds me through the night,
the one I'll spend my life with and who makes my life feel right.

I feel hopeful for my future and all that it will give,
the people I will love and the life that I will live.

I won't look back in fear or regret for what was lost,
I've moved on and am starting new at whatever cost.

You walked away and said goodbye when it was time to go,
and while I didn't realize then, it was good for me, I know.
