Today I saw a bird fly,
It told me I could fly too.
I tried to fly, but fell
Over
        And
                Over
                        Again
The thing about flying is,
You won’t know how far you’ll go,
Until you try.
And if you fail,
You try,
Over
       And
              Over
                    Again
Soon enough, you’ll learn to fly,
As high as the sky can go.
And when you do, you’ll realize,
It wasn’t the flying that was hard,
It was the getting back up,
Over
       And
              Over
                      Again
That showed you,
You could fly all along.

I love you
Something so complex, yet so vulnerable.
I miss you
Something so misleading, yet so wonderful.
I hate you
Something so heartbreaking, yet so casual.
I forgive you
Something so frightening, yet so peaceful.

The hurt I feel inside, is so foreign to me. Even though it’s something I’ve felt many times before. The hurt, is still the same.
I’m trying desperately to forget you, to move on from these thoughts in my head.
All the memories of you, are burned inside my mind.
The day that you left me, felt different than the times before. We’ve done this many times, but none quite like this.
This time it feels real, I feel as if I’ll never see you again. All of the things left unsaid, are just words without meaning. Because for you, this is what you want.
You never think about how these things are going to affect me. You run from me, when things get real, when we get too close. This time is no different.
You’re leaving me, like you’ve done many times before. This time, I hope you stay gone.
I hope I receive the closure I need within your absence. Because in the hardest times of my life, you’ve left.
You left me.
Alone and afraid, of what was to come. You never loved me like you said you did.
How can you not be hurting?
Why do you not love me?

Somewhere, in the midst of losing you
I think I might’ve lost me too.

Today I feel everything, all at once.
It’s like a wave rushing in, that crashes too soon.
The thought of you makes me sick.
The love I thought I knew, I’ll never forget.
The way you touched me, and held my hand.
Your ocean blue eyes, and our feet in the sand.
I tried to run from you, I tried to hide, I tried to ignore this feeling inside.
The feeling of brokenness, for how much I hated you.
For doing the things, you said you’d never do.  
And now I’m forced to move on, to remove this feeling of you.
And now all I can do, is hope for someone new.

You showed me what I thought was love.
The truth is, it wasn’t love at all.
I morn for the day I feel love like it should be.
The day I fall for someone new.
And in this moment I feel something I’ve never felt before
The sense of you slipping away
Today is my last day of loving you.
And tomorrow will start for me instead of you.

Today is the day that I let go
To forget all the things I already know
I tried and tried to change your mind
To fix all the things you feel inside
No matter what I did for you
Nothing you ever did for me was true
I thought you’d change
I thought you loved me
I thought after everything you’d be here with me
I don’t understand why you have to leave
Why you have to ruin everything we could be
But in the end I finally know
There’s nothing for me to do except let go
