What I deal with may not be right for you,
surprising how fast this relationship flew.
By and by,
I said too much,
I couldn't lie.

Persistence wasn't the right tool,
I won't label either of us the fool.
Time,
carries on,
in some cases, it's wrong.

Though I showed I couldn't really let you go,
there is one thing I need you to know.
I learned so much from you,
I use your lessons today, it's true.

Absence from me may have been best,
for now on I don't bleed through my chest.
My heart is beating fine.
It's ok if you don't want to be mine.

Forget all the bad pictures I frequently drew,
I want you to know that I was happy
at the time to have you.
My trust followed through in you.

Your care may not have lasted long,
I'll think of you even if you are gone.
There was a time it was true.
It may be over,
but I still want to say
Thank You.
