It's the slow letting go Waking up one morning with a clear mind Unclouded by thoughts of the past It's the way you realise You've been spending your thoughts On other things more built to last It's not reliving your failures As you go through each day And yes you might still cry at night It's the forgiving of them And the cruel stars you once cursed Even yourself as you see the light It's realizing that even while You weren't close to alright before It is nobody's job to fix or save you It's realizing you might Someday be okay after this The desolation may clear to truth It's the slow release of All the things you tied up in their heart And knowing you will be okay It's opening up to the future Letting yourself see hope for once Even though things will never be the same.

How to move on.
It's the slow letting go Waking up one morning with a clear mind Unclouded by thoughts of the past It's the way you realise You've been spending your thoughts On other things more built to last It's not reliving your failures As you go through each day And yes you might still cry at night It's the forgiving of them And the cruel stars you once cursed Even yourself as you see the light It's realizing that even while You weren't close to alright before It is nobody's job to fix or save you It's realizing you might Someday be okay after this The desolation may clear to truth It's the slow release of All the things you tied up in their heart And knowing you will be okay It's opening up to the future Letting yourself see hope for once Even though things will never be the same.
