They asked me when I knew it was over

*"The day I stopped being able to sleep when he was laying next me."

As I took his face in my hands
Tears streaming down his cheeks
My raw heart out of my chest
I told him,
"Heartbreak is the worst pain someone can experience. But your heart is strong enough to get through it."

And if all we were
All the pain you caused
Was for that moment
Just one brief second where I was able to give someone peace in midst of tragedy
Then losing you all makes sense
And I wouldn't think twice about going through it again

They all knew she was strong
But none of them could really fathom all the strength that had been required of her
To survive what she had

I'll never understand what you saw in her

But what does it matter?
Because whatever it was
It made you believe I was worth leaving

She always said
"I love you"
first.

You say
"You're gorgeous"
As if I should be thankful
That you find me so

But honey
Don't you know?
A woman like me
Will never be charmed with words that simple
