A year ago today
I packed my stuff, left my note, and walked away.
I know it was a terrible way to leave you
But I couldn't take anymore after everything you put me through.
They say love is blind
But I could still see all your cheating and lies.
What they should say is love just makes you dumb
Until you can’t take anymore and eventually become numb.
I really don’t want to write about you anymore
I want to gather my emotions and just close this door.
This isn't as easy as it sounds
But it’s getting easier with all the great people I have around.
Since I left, my life has done a total 360
I’m so much happier and it’s easy for everyone to see.
I was able to discover myself
And put this terrible chapter of my life up on a shelf.
While up there, I hope it gathers dust
I hope I don’t ever take it down so it can wither and rust.
I hope I never let myself get that low again
I hope one day I can look at you like I would a long lost friend.
These thoughts bring me one step closer to getting rid of the past
And focusing on my happiness so I can make it last.
I've worked so hard I feel like I should take a bow
The dark is behind me and it’s all over now.
